Sure he does. He checked out a file that got corrupted on the way to him.
He adds his engine design to the file and commits it, still corrupted.
Eventually that corruption will bite him and he will lose all his work.

With my proposal the corruption might even be removed, not that that is an
argument in its favour.

Is this really common enough you need Subversion to have built-in handling,
rather than requiring the user to do the right thing?

If it is then I guess I see the point of specifying a platform, but I
remain skeptical.
