I wouldn't say that's "fairly safe to assume". I doubt that most people
who were not familiar w/ Subversion would realize that svn acts as both
client and server for file:// URLs.
Think of someone who was going to simply set up a repository on their
local machine for personal use via file:// . They might think "I'm the
only one using this; I don't need a server" and be tempted to use
--client-only.
(Not that I'm arguing against such a config option, just pointing out
that to the lay person it may not be as self-documenting as you think).
