Not all servers do the depth-infinity delete during a copy, actually.
For better or for worse, Microsoft servers and I believe Xythos do a
merge of the contents when copying one folder over another. I don't
think it would matter to those servers even if the spec were clearer,
it was a very conscious decision based on customer/user expectations.

Ok, seems I have found the problem.
I fixed an copy issue some time ago.
The following sequence
mkcol /abc
put /abc/file1
mkcol /def
put /def/file2
copy /abc -> /def
leads to (before the fix)
/abc
/abc/file1
/def
/def/file1
/def/file2
that's wrong, I think, because if the target exists, it is to be
deleted with Depth: infinity (see RFC2518, 8.8.4).
but if /def is deleted this way /def/file2 must disappear too
So the correct result is
/abc
/abc/file1
/def
/def/file1.
This is true for Binding too. But some of the Bind test cases rely on
the older behavior, I will commit the changes to the testcases soon.
With this functional, deltav and bind are running.

before releasing again, but I'm currently not quite sure what the
problem is. I try ASAP.

Folks,
after we fixed the Oracle and the Mac OS X blockers are there any
other issues you feel that should be addressed before we can get to
the next release?
Anyway, should the next release be a beta or a release candidate?
Even
though there have been additional patches, if there are no more major
open issues I would be +1 for a release candidate as 2.1 has been in
the release cycle for quite a while...
Oliver
P.S.: James would you be available for a next release soon, anyway?
