Kumaran,
A good thing about the current .svn dir design is the fact that you can get
rid of a wc entirely simply by deleting its root folder.
Moving the bookkeeping to an external location would very easily result in
unwanted residue surviving the delete.
If you want to implement a solution with external bookkeeping, you should
probably make sure to have some kind of pointer from the wc to the
bookkeeping data in order to be able to delete it automatically.
I cannot think of a way to do this without ruining the purpose of all this:
a pristine working copy, but maybe you can...
Cheers
Michael Nexø
