I think this is a really groovy idea. I also agree with Karl that it
can wait until post-1.0.

Just to ponder, would this sort of interface replace the current
command-line paradigm or supplement it?

Like:

$ svn --interactive

would start interactive mode and

$ svn <command> <option>

would be the normal cvs-like behavior?

Thoughts?
