Once again: Subversion is scriptable by design (it's even mentioned on
our front page).

I honestly don't have much CVS experience, so I don't know specifically
what problems you're referring to above.

Could you explain a bit more about what kinds of problems 'dumb wrapper

struggling to see why you're against this change.
