Wait, how the HECK do you get automatic recovery from BDB?

That's what this news release is about! Using new features of BDB 4.4, it's now possible for the app to do this. Previously it was not. The Subversion BDB backend was recently hacked on for awhile (the bdb-fixes branch) mainly to add this enhancement.

By the way, I believe there's an error in the press release. They say the new stuff will be in Subversion 1.3.1, but last I heard, that's not the plan. bdb-fixes has been merged back to the development trunk, but the developers are leaning toward not merging it into the 1.3.x branch until after 1.3.1 - so probably in 1.3.2 or so. It's still new and needs a bit of time to "season" first.
