What brings me (again) to the question of atomic multi-operations, for
example mixing local and server-side operations or aggregating multiple
server-side operations. For example, after checkout, make the following
operation(s) atomic:

svn co http://server/repos/trunk proj; cd proj

svn rm http://server/repos/trunk/lib
svn cp http://server/repos/tags/lib-1.5 http://server/repos/trunk/lib
svn rm README.oldlibs
svn cp README README.oldlibs
sed -e "s/lib-1\.4/lib-1.5/g" README
svn commit

Any thoughts about this issue/feature? I think, especially pending
server-side operations and mixing them with local commits will be a big
challenge, if it is implementable at all.
