[knowledgeforge-user] Issues with svn and knowledgeforge

Tue Feb 10 18:24:19 UTC 2009

Thanks for this Anthony and this continues to a be a really

that would actually help me fix this. One option is to upgrade the
server to use svn 1.5 and see whether that fixes things (we were
rather putting this off until debian lenny shipped).
