Note that SVN permits one to "lock" the branch for commits. This might be useful during "critical" periods to catch these kinds of errors. Robert Ramey Beman Dawes wrote:

I made HUGE blunder.
I accidently commited changes to the release branch when I meant to commit them to the trunk. I'm on my way out the door now. I'll revert them when I get back.
I'm really, really sorry.
No sweat. I messed up, too - I should have detected that some of the release tests were stale and waited until they cycled. I see that the changes have been reverted, so will generate release candidates again tomorrow once the fresh tests cycle.
The critical point, however, is that we did follow the procedure of asking for independent verification that the release candidate builds OK.
Many thanks to Andrey for detecting the problem, and Richard for confirming it!
