	Hello Dustin!

	Thanks for the explanation and sorry for the false alarm, I was not  
aware of that limitation and only came across it when not bothering  
to mess with my Apache configuration when setting up svn locally I  
really do hope it gets resolved soon (1.5?) as it imposes  
considerable constraints on legit work flows (and I'm sure you and I  
aren't the only ones ;-).

	On a related note: any word on committing your inter-repository work  
on svnmerge.py to the official subversion repo?

	Regards,...
