[svk-devel] 'svk push --verbatim' generating extra change sets

[Chip Salzenberg]

I'm using svk 1.08 for parrot development, and I'm doing push and pull
operations fairly frequently.  This usually works fine.

However, sometimes the a 'push --verbatim' operation commits a change set
upstream that contains an old change log description, but the actual content
of the change is strictly a change in the metadata on the 'trunk' directory.
It's bad that the users who are watching the subversion change logs are
seeing my nice descriptive log messages attached to ... nothing.

Is this pilot error, or a known bug, or an unknown bug?

Here's a sample 'svk desc' output from one of those pushes.  Note that the
log message is a recycle from a change that was already pushed before.

FixedPMCArray housekeeping:
  Don't use uninitialized memory.
  Don't try to malloc(0).  (closes: #39752)
