Seperate repositories at the file level seems over-the-top to me.
Per-directory is fine, but per-file? No way... that just feels like it will
get confusing as hell for the user.
Which file is from where? What happens when you add a file?
This just feels like a "we can build this, so let's do it" feature. I like
to take the pointer of view of "a feature exists because we *should*, not
because we *can*."
I'm -1 on per-file repositories.
(but yah: I presume there would be an API to get at that since non-WC code
cannot look into SVN/ ... and again: it would be libsvn_client that probably
needs it, rather than RA (since the URL determines the RA... chicken and egg
problem :-))
