Contrariwise, soneone with a roaming profile will be very happy to see
her Subversion settings migrate with everything else when she switches
to another machine. And I'd say this use case is much more common than
yours (which only happens in places where someone didn't *think* before
setting up the domain topology).

I'd consider an option that would let the user specify a different
config directory on Windows, but I'm not sure %HOME% is the right way to
go. Perhaps a magic file in %APPDATA%/Subversion? Oh wait, you can turn
that directory into a junction today, unless you're on NT4...

Suggestions welcome. But more than one, please :-)
