Candidate changes:
==================

 * r1701488
   Issue #4592 "fix contrib check-mime-type.pl for changes to 'svnlook proplist'
     output", http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4592
   Justification:
     Make this contributed script work again, after 1.7.8 broke it.
   Notes:
     Brett Randall put effort into contributing this fix: see the dev@ email
     thread "[patch][reboot-topic] fix check-mime-type.pl for changes to
     'svnlook proplist' output" started by him on 2015-08-07, archived at
     e.g. <http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2015-08/0047.shtml> or
     <http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201508.mbox/%3CCALeEUB56NVCR0nCZ2rYki6oKQNcVPPLvWTeCoYyrMqitsov0ag@mail.gmail.com%3E>.
   Votes:
     +0: julianfoad, rhuijben (he says it works, but I haven't reviewed or tested)
     +0: danielsh (not tested; would be nice to have a $ anchor in the pattern)

 * r1705038
   Fix issue 4607, patch with missing newline removes newline when applied.
   Justification:
     Silently makes unexpected changes.
   Votes:
     +1: philip
     +0: rhuijben (while I agree that this patch fixes a problem, I don't
                   think this is the right backport. This patch changes the
                   behavior of a public api (with no known users except
                   libsvn_client) in a specific way for this issue. On trunk
                   this behavior change was reverted when a better fix was
                   implemented)

 * r1722164
   Filter out -Wdate-time from SWIG_CPPFLAGS
   Justification:
     Fixes bindings build failure when -Wdate-time is present in $CPPFLAGS
   Votes:
     +1: jamessan
     +1: rhuijben (Would prefer some redesign for trunk though)

 * r1721488, r1721648
   Enable building bindings with SWIG >= 3.0.6
   Justification:
     Enable building bindings with SWIG 3.x.  SWIG 2.x is end-of-life (no
     releases since 2014) and is starting to be removed from Linux
     distributions.
   Branch:
     ^/subversion/branches/1.9.x-r1721488
   Votes:
     +1: jamessan

 * r1721285
   Quadruple the maximum cacheable directory size in FSFS.
   Justification:
     Not caching large directories has a massive impact on runtime with
     the cutoff point being about 9000 entries for the default cache size.
     Also, memory usage with mod_dav_svn may go through the roof for
     uncached directories.
   Votes:
     +1: stefan2, steveking
     -0: stsp (merge conflict; needs a backport branch)

 * r1724448
   Fix handling of newly secured subdirectories in a working copy
   Justification:
     Regression against <= 1.6.x. Without this patch a directory that
     (still) exists locally but to which a user has no access is handled as
     a local obstruction on the next update that brings a change to this tree
     and the local working copy state is broken. This patch handles the
     incomming change as a delete, properly marking a tree conflict if
     necessary, allowing a user to make a copy of local changes.
     (Committing a copy would be hard though... as the user most likely
      doesn't have the rights to copy from what is now hidden).

 * r1663286, r1741071, r1741072, r1741073, r1741078, r1741096, r1741200,
   r1741206
   Fix the source of "database is locked" errors when opening rep-cache.db.
   Justification:
     Users can get unexpected errors during operations that open rep-cache.db,
     e.g., when calling 'svnadmin verify'.
   Branch:
     ^/subversion/branches/1.9.x-rep-cache-db-fixes
   Notes:
     r1663286 only affects maintainer mode and is included to avoid conflicts.
     r1741073 fixes a potential crash in our sqlite helper.
     r1741096 and r1741200 are the core fix for this issue.
     r1741206 fixes a potential problem with the long-living db connection.
     .
     The backport branch is required, because r1741096 adds a new error code
     that can't be backported as is without breaking compatibility between
     patch versions.

 * 1748514
   Fix a crash in 'svn resolve'.
   Justification:
     SVN should not segfault. User complained.
   Votes:
     +1: stsp, jamessan

 * r1715777
   Convert assertion failure to error if configuration file contains just one
   0xEE character.
   Justification:
     Assertion on invalid config is not good behavior.
   Votes:
     +1: ivan

 * r1756266
   FSFS: Write the sha1->rep mapping in transaction *after* we successfully
   written node revision to disk. Otherwise may get orphaned sha1->rep mapping
   entry if an error occurs when writing p2l index entry.
   Justification:
     Possible repository corruption.
     NOTE: Standard Subversion client should not be affected because it
     aborts transaction on any error.
