Actually, I've fixed it myself:
$ svn ci -m'revert the previous hasted commits and go back to the release of 13.05 -- so the Debian release can match the official release'
Sending doc/newfeat.texi
Sending lisp/ess-custom.el
Transmitting file data ..
Committed revision 5581.
So you can work off 5577 or 5581 (= current).

>> ==============================
>> The latest released version of ESS is always available on the web at:

>> 1.1.1 ESS subversion repository

>> 1.3 Requirements
>> ================
>> ESS is most likely to work with current/recent versions of the following
>> statistical packages: R/S-PLUS, SAS, Stata, OpenBUGS and JAGS.
>> ESS supports current, and recent, stable versions of GNU Emacs
>> (currently, specifically, the 23.x and 24.x series;
>> alpha/beta/pre-release versions are NOT SUPPORTED). Due to XEmacs
>> lacking some features that ESS requires, ESS support of XEmacs ends
>> with ESS 12.04-4. This decision will be re-visited in the future as
>> XEmacs continues to sync with GNU Emacs.
>> To build the PDF documentation, you will need a version of TeX Live
>> or texinfo that includes texi2dvi (BEWARE: recent TeX Live, and some
>> texinfo RPMs, do NOT include texi2dvi).
>> 1.4 Stability
>> =============
>> All recent released versions are meant to be release-quality versions.
>> While some new features are being introduced, we are cleaning up and
>> improving the interface. We know that there are many remaining
>> opportunities for documentation improvements, but all contributors are
>> volunteers and time is precious. Patches or suggested fixes with bug
>> reports are much appreciated!
>> 1.5 Mailing List
>> ================
>> There is a mailing list for discussions and announcements relating to
>> ESS. Join the list by sending an e-mail with "subscribe ess-help" (or
>> "help") in the body to <ess-help-request at stat.math.ethz.ch>;
>> contributions to the list may be mailed to
>> <ess-help at stat.math.ethz.ch>. Rest assured, this is a fairly
>> low-volume mailing list.
>> The purposes of the mailing list include
>> * helping users of ESS to get along with it.
>> * discussing aspects of using ESS on Emacs and XEmacs.
>> * suggestions for improvements.
>> * announcements of new releases of ESS.
>> * posting small patches to ESS.
>> 1.6 Reporting Bugs
>> ==================
>> Please send bug reports, suggestions etc. to
>> <ESS-bugs at stat.math.ethz.ch>
>> The easiest way to do this is within Emacs by typing
>> `M-x ess-submit-bug-report'
>> This also gives the maintainers valuable information about your
>> installation which may help us to identify or even fix the bug.
>> If Emacs reports an error, backtraces can help us debug the problem.
>> Type "M-x set-variable RET debug-on-error RET t RET". Then run the
>> command that causes the error and you should see a *Backtrace* buffer
>> containing debug information; send us that buffer.
>> Note that comments, suggestions, words of praise and large cash
>> donations are also more than welcome.

>> 1.9 New Features
>> ================
>> Changes/New Features in 13.05:
>> * ESS[gretl]: Support for `gretl' (both editing and sub-process
>> interaction). A contribution of Ahmadou Dicko.
>> * ESS: process output display is 4-10 times faster due to new caching
>> and only occasional emacs re-display (for the moment this
>> functionality is available only when `ess-tracebug' is active).
>> * ESS: `C-c `' is now bound to `ess-show-traceback' and `C-c ~' is
>> bound to `ess-show-call-stack'.
>> * ESS[R]: ESS stores function in 'ESSR' environment to avoid
>> kludging users' global environment and accidental deletion.
>> * ESS[R]: new variable `ess-swv-processing-command' to control
>> weaving and tangling.
>> * ESS[R]: `ess-default-style' has been changed (from `DEFAULT') to
>> `RRR'. Use something like `(setq ess-default-style 'DEFAULT)' or
>> `(setq ess-indent-level 2)' in your `~/.emacs' equivalent
>> _before_ loading ESS, if you do not like this new "incompatible"
>> default style.
>> * ESS[julia]: ESS stores its functions in 'ESS' module.
>> * ESS[julia]: Eldoc is now supported in julia modes
>> * ESS[julia]: Adjusted error reference detection and interactive help
>> to julia internal changes
>> * ESS[R]: `ess-use-tracebug''s default has been changed to `t'. Set
>> it to nil if you want to keep the previous behavior.
>> * ESS[tracebug]: Electric debug keys have been removed [breaking
>> change] The functionality was replaced with `ess-debug-minor-mode'
>> and `ess-debug-minor-mode-map'.
>> * ESS[tracebug]: `ess-tracebug-map' is an alias to `ess-dev-map'
>> `C-c C-t'.
>> * ESS[tracebug]: `ess-bp-toggle-state' (`C-c C-t o') can now be
>> used during the debug session to toggle breakpoints on the fly
>> (suggestion by Ross Boylan).
>> * ESS[tracebug]: `ess-debug-flag-for-debugging' and
>> `ess-debug-unflag-for-debugging' work correctly from the debugging
>> contexts. These commands also recognize non-exported functions for
>> the packages listed in `ess-developer-packages' (`C-c C-t C-a').
>> * ESS[R]: Eldoc (activated by `ess-use-eldoc') has become more
>> sophisticated, and hence also more intruding in the interface
>> between the Statistics softare, e.g., R, and the user.
>> Note that you can turn off ElDoc, by placing `(setq ess-use-eldoc
>> nil)' in your `~/.emacs' file, prior to loading ESS,
>> * ESS[SAS]: long over-looked `SAS-mode-hook' appears!
>> * ESS[SAS]: `ess-sas-edit-keys-toggle' now defaults to `t' since
>> `sas-indent-line' is still broken, i.e. `TAB' is now bound to
>> `ess-sas-tab-to-tab-stop' by default
>> Changes/Bug Fixes in 12.09-2:
>> * ESS: new `ess-switch-to-end-of-proc-buffer' variable that controls
>> whether `C-c C-z' switches to the end of process buffer. The
>> default is `t'. You can use prefix argument to `C-c C-z' to
>> toggle this variable.
>> * ESS: fix in `ess-eval-linewise' that was causing emacs to hang
>> during R debugging with `ess-eval-visibly' equal to `t'.
>> * ESS: fix in `ess-eval-linewise' that was causing emacs to recenter
>> the prompt in visible window
>> * ESS[tracebug]: A better handling of "Selection" prompts and debug
>> related singlekey commands.
>> * ESS: fix a bug in `ess-switch-process' that was causing `*new*'
>> selection to fail.
>> * ESS[R]: Solve missing `ess-local-process-name' bug in R-dired.
>> * ESS[SWV]: `ess-swv-PDF' doesn't ask for a command to run if there
>> is only one command in `ess-swv-pdflatex-commands'.
>> * ESS[SWV]: `ess-swv-weave' gained an universal argument to allow
>> for an interactive choice between available weavers (sweave,
>> knitr).
>> * ESS: `ess-eval-*-and-step' functions go to next empty line at eob,
>> instead of staying at the last line.
>> Changes/New Features in 12.09-1:
>> * ESS _Breaking Changes in Keys_:
>> - New keymaps: `ess-doc-map' bound to `C-c C-d';
>> `ess-extra-map' bound to `C-c C-e';
>> `ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer' was moved on `C-c C-e C-d'
>> - roxygen map was moved on `C-c C-o' and
>> `ess-roxy-update-entry' now resides on `C-c C-o C-o'
>> - ess-handy-commands is not bound anymore
>> - `ess-dev-map' (including `ess-tracebug' and `ess-developer')
>> moved on `C-c C-t'
>> - `C-c C-y' is deprecated in favor of `C-c C-z C-z'
>> * ESS[R] new command `ess-describe-object-at-point' bound to `C-c
>> C-d C-e' (repeat `C-e' or `e' to cycle). It was inspired by Erik
>> Iverson's `ess-R-object-tooltip'. Customize
>> `ess-describe-at-point-method' to use tooltip instead of an

>> * ESS: Switching between processes (`C-c C-s') uses buffer names

>> * ESS: Process buffers can be automatically named on process creation

>> see `ess-gen-proc-buffer-name-function'.
>> * ESS: `ess-eval-visibly-p' is deprecated in favor of
>> `ess-eval-visibly'.
>> * ESS: New evaluation pattern `nowait'. In addition to old `nil'
>> and `t' values, `ess-eval-visibly' accepts `nowait' for a visible
>> evaluation with no waiting for the process. See `ess-eval-visibly'
>> for details on evaluation patterns.

>> configuration
>> * iESS: Process buffer is now automatically shown on errors
>> * ESS: New `ess-switch-to-inferior-or-script-buffer' command bound
>> to `C-c C-z' in both script and process buffers. If invoked form

>> * ESS[R] ess-roxy: new variable `ess-roxy-re' for fontification of
