I was not able to do the test because I tried to do the following :

C:\Temp\boost_latest>svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk HEAD

And got:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/boost/trunk'

svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/boost/trunk': could not connect to server (http://svn.boost.org)

I'm not able to get the svn version ( and taking one file by one through web browser it's not relevant…) because I'm under firewall/internet-proxy… I don't know how to instruct svn  to access use proxy internet options.

I may try downloading + testing  against the new beta (1.37)… ( that's more updated than 1.36 but maybe is not as updated as the svn HEAD itself)...

Do you have a snapshot of the svn somewhere?

TIA,
