Yes, I generally agree. Politics doesn't make this a great option in
this case. It sounds like there's not much current (or prior) material
on doing this because few people use such a strange workflow. Eventually
some change may be possible, but in the meantime the method is used
across an infra that isn't easy to change quickly.
I do get the "source control isn't a deployment strategy", but for
better or worse it plays a predominant role to that end for this site.
Much of that I can't control, so I'm merely looking for other options.
The odd part of this particular failure case is that Subversion is happy
to do everything properly except new checkouts when it lacks access to
the unrelated wc.db file. This feels like a bug, but I'm sure one with
minimal interest in having fixed.
