RE: [TSVN] Annoyance when dealing with network fs repos[Scanned]

How does SVN itself tell the difference???

I get the impression the Subversion dev's aren't that responsive to your

It is a Unix-Windows macho thing they have going??

PS. I'm still a newbie, but been using TSVN 1.0.7 for about a month now.
It rocks!

Well, it's either that (call it a "heuristics for determining the
repository format" if it makes you feel better :-) ) or dropping the
warning.

Let's hope you manage to convince the core SVN people that you need this
info "officially"...
