The problems encountered here were due to an unusual once-off need to add new APIs to an old branch in order to fix a security bug. This wasn't handled perfectly by the Subversion project - with hindsight, we should have ensured that the emergency-fixed 1.0 API was a subset of the 1.1 API, and we should have made very explicit mention of the conflicts/requires packages should use.

It's quite possible that a security bug requiring new APIs to fix will never occur again, now that the Subversion API has had more time to mature. If such a situation does arise again, we can learn from our fumble with 1.0.9.

Since the 1.0.x series of Subversion has passed away out of current distributions, this bug can be closed - no action is required.

Max.
