    unset JAVA_HOME
    sudo env WITHOUT_BDB=1 WITH_PERL=1 WITH_PYTHON=1 WITH_RUBY=1 WITH_JAVA=1 WITH_MOD_DAV_SVN=1 ~wu/dots/bin/wu-portupgrade subversion

Limitations

• branching and labeling aren't built in but are implemented as directories
• no tracking of merges
  • Fri Sep 1, 2006 2:06 pm - real merge tracking is in the subversion trunk and is coming in subverison 1.5!!!
• no tracking of directory or file name changes, "delete and add"
• can't easily remove old versions from archives to save space
