Well, I might have a use-case for it.
Do you know about Subissue ? The issue-tracking system that would save
all issue information in Subversion repositories ? One of the problems
with the approach is that when a commit is in progress, there is
currently no way for applications to modify or append information to a
commit.
Maybe such a command could be added somehow ?
createtxn itself might be unnecessary though.
Bye !
