This suffers from the same problems as before: who decides when "we
have the concept"? What criteria do they use? Do they need to get
you approval that the concept is complete?

I fail to see how reopening the issue helps.

To you perhaps, I think it is an abuse of the issue tracker.
Putting your ideas into an issue attachment is very unfriendly. I get
a mail that tells me about it, but I can't directly read it. If I
want to read it I have to start a web browser, connect to the
Subversion web site (it's horribly slow here), and retrieve the
attachment. Even if I do that it's hard to reply to it.
I have just read your attachment, and I don't know what to think.
It's appears to be simply the same rough ideas as before. This time
with a claim that it will improve some unspecified quantity by 30%.
Amazing! I wish I could predict the behaviour of code that has not
been written with the same accuracy. I suppose if you don't specify
what you are measuring it gets a bit easier...
You also want to have a BDB implementation of the working copy admin
area. While this is possible I see no evidence that it will solve
your problem with the speed of working copies on network disks. Does
BDB even support your network filesystem? Have you any evidence that
it will be faster? Have you even considered the problems like backup,
log files, recovery?
You appear to be unwilling, or unable, to provide patches to implement
your ideas, therefore you need to convince someone else to do it. As
yet there isn't even a design. Why should we have an issue that says
"please design and implement this particular notion of mine"? How
does it help?
