I vote -0.5 on this.

I feel that this issue is so irrelevant, the benefits provided so
negligible, that the additional possibilities for problems, and
additional administrator time, however small they may be, are not justified.

Additionally, I feel that deciding that it is useful enough to warrant
installation on our own repository is logically irreconcilable with a
decision to keep the functionality out of the Subversion core code.
