dev-util/subversion-1.4.4-r3: Needless patches:
subversion-1.4-db4.patch
subversion-1.3.1-neon-config.patch

These patches do nothing. I emerged Subversion with these patches and next without them. Next I compared logs in /var/log/portage and the only difference is:
--- dev-util:subversion-1.4.4-r3:20070724-013237.log

Erm, nope. Those patches are intended and needed.

You're wrong, but now I use Subversion 1.5*, so I don't care about this bug.
