<h1>Subversion Issue Tracker</h1>
<h2>Issue Tracker Guidelines</h2>
<p>As Subversion continues to mature, and as it gains attention from
new users, folks will inevitably find bugs in, or come up with
enhancements that they would like to see made to, the software.
The Subversion community welcomes such requests for enhancements
and reports of bugs. However, we ask that you follow a few
guidelines with respect to the issue filing process.</p>
<div class="alert">
<p>Before filing an issue in the Issue Tracker, please:</p>
<ul>
<li>Look through the <a
href="http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/buglist.cgi?component=subversion&issue_status=UNCONFIRMED&issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED">existing
issues</a> to determine if your concern has already been noted by
someone else.</li>
<li>Make sure that you've read the appropriate documentation (for
example, the <a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">Subversion
book</a>) to verify that you are using the software
appropriately, and to determine if any problems you are seeing are
perhaps not real bugs.</li>
<li>Send email to the development list (<a
href="mailto:dev@subversion.tigris.org">dev@subversion.tigris.org</a>)
fully describing the enhancement or bug that brought you here today.
That will give the community a chance to ask questions of you, so that
we can fully understand your concern.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>When mailing the development list with a concern, make sure that
your e-mail describes your bug or enhancement fully. Provide
details about the versions of the relevant software (Subversion,
Apache, neon, etc.) that you are using, about your operating
system, and about any other thing that might seem pertinent to the
issue. If you can provide a script which consistently reproduces a
problem, that can be incredibly helpful to those evaluating and/or
working on your issue.</p>
<p>After mailing the development list, you should expect your concern
to be addressed with relative immediacy. That is, within a few
days, you should get feedback on your mail. If indeed you have
found a new bug in Subversion, or if your enhancement request is
feasible, you will likely be asked to return here and file a new
issue in the Issue Tracker.</p>
