Formal release notes are available:
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9.html
Of particular note, the client checkout format has *not* changed so
upgrades should *not* be required.
When reading a repository (file:// or running as a local server), an
improved fsfs version 7 is available with significant performance
improvements. An optional upgrade is possible to use the new features.
Without the upgrade, this is fully read/write compatible with the
version 6 fsfs as in svn-1.8.
Relnotes: yes
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

This is actually a fully functional build except:
* All internal shared libraries are static linked to make sure there
is no interference with ports (and to reduce build time).
* It does not have the python/perl/etc plugin or API support.
* By default, it installs as "svnlite" rather than "svn".
* If WITH_SVN added in make.conf, you get "svn".
* If WITHOUT_SVNLITE is in make.conf, this is completely disabled.
To be absolutely clear, this is not intended for any use other than
checking out freebsd source and committing, like we once did with cvs.
It should be usable for small scale local repositories that don't
need the python/perl plugin architecture.
