Yep. Whenever 1.0 is released and work starts on 2.0 features then will
the people who plan on revamping the working copy model PLEASE be sure
to include me. I will gladly spend obscene amounts of time working on
that issue as the number of filesystem operations needed to perform the
most basic of subversion tasks is now the only thing I dislike about the
program.
If I can get working copies that aren't painful to use over an NFS mount
then I'll dance a jig with a purple wig and let people film it for
posterity.
