Perhaps, but the line that stops it working looks like an outright bug. newconf->root_dir = INHERIT_VALUE(child, parent, root_dir); The order of parent and child in Subversion's INHERIT_VALUE macro only has an effect when nesting one Subversion location in another. When not nested the parent root_dir is NULL and the child value will be used whatever the order in INHERIT_VALUE. I can't see how it would ever be correct to inherit the parent root_dir value. This bug only comes to light because 1.7 uses the root_dir value when processing POST requests; 1.6 doesn't use POST requests so the wrong value had no effect. -- Philip
