Hi,

I think I have fixed both errors in svn-export-2013.1.24, along with another
directory-related error that I discovered while debugging (attempts to cat new
directories in incremental exports instead of recursing them). Please try again
and let me know if it works.

If not, please post steps to reproduce the error with a publicly accessible
repo. I was unable to access the ports-mgmt repos in your example.

Incidentally, if anyone is looking at the code for svn-export, feel free to
suggest a better way to incrementally export new subdirectories (see the
"get_new_files()" method).

Incidentally, my release scripts do not leave old source archives on the
server for very long after a new release and I tend to update often when I
can. If you need me to increase the shelf life of old archives to prevent
404's, let me know (give me a reasonable interval and I will update my
scripts). In the future I may switch to posting my private Git repos, but I
tend to rewrite history and I know that really irks people.

Regards,
Xyne
