Originally (back in 2006/2007), the goal was to support SVN 1.1.x+.
I'm not sure if I we ever lost support for such old versions.

I use Debian stable for testing patches, and SVN is 1.6.12 there.
Otherwise, whatever people are willing to support and send
patches/bugreports for is good.

As far as I remember, that's how I originally wrote the tests.

Your analysis seems correct.  I always prefer test changes to be
combined with corresponding commits to avoid breakage during bisect.
Thanks!
