Ouch.

Whilst clearly it's not good for servers to be hammered into the ground
by scores of users syncing repositories, it would be a very great shame
if this nice new feature ending up being turned off on the majority of
significant Subversion installations.

Perhaps we could consider rate-limiting rather than outright blocking of
the feature as a DoS avoidance strategy?

Max.
