svn_load_dirs missing
I'm looking for the svn_load_dirs (AKA svn-load-dirs or svn_load_dirs.pl) that normally comes with Subversion, but is missing from the svn from pacman.
Do I need to build subversion myself to get this?

Re: svn_load_dirs missing
svn_load_dirs.pl is not included with the binary version of SVN. It's included in the source distribution as contrib/client-side/svn_load_dirs.pl.in. If you build from source, it's copied to contrib/client-side/svn_load_dirs.pl and the $svn property is filled in with the path of the svn executable.

Re: svn_load_dirs missing
I did just what you suggest. I built all of subversion, and I see that only one substitution is made to convert svn_load_dirs.pl.in into svn_load_dirs.pl.
So its an easy workaround, but I think it would be best if the pacman install of svn included svn_load_dirs. I'm new to Arch, and don't know how to make that sort of change myself.

Re: svn_load_dirs missing
Well, since subversion is in the Extra repo, it's not something that you yourself could do. So, there are two options. Either ask the TU/Devs to change the package in extra (they may well decline to do so for one reason or another) or build a package for it yourself and post it to the AUR.
