Me too.

This seems way too complicated also (and likely nigh-unportable).

Just as an FYI, SVK has centralized metadata (in the form of an ordinary
Subversion repository actually) and it really doesn't seem to take all
that long to scan the working copy to locate the changed files (I belive
that SVK also caches the changed files as it sees them, so it is faster
the second time round, say 'svk st' followed by 'svk diff'). But then
again I am not using WC's with [tens of] thousands of files either.
