I would argue that you should be able to disable any "change history"
functionality. I'm especially concerned about audit trails; if you allow svn
clients to change history, you remove a number of valid uses for SVN.
Our company, for example, needs to have audit trails for timesheets, which
are electronic. At the moment, we just print out the timesheets and file
them. We'd like to back up the databases by dumping them, and then commiting
them to CVS or SVN. We're investigating a number of ways of ensuring the
audit trail in a way that satisfies the govornment standards. If SVN allowed
changing history, it would make it useless for this.
