Let me just randomly jump in and say that the most important thing for
platform support is the availability of developers to fix issues. If it's
that gosh darn important, then someone who it really matters to can scratch
their own itch. Ideally, that person will do it in a way that can be
incorporated back to the rest of us (well-tested, documented, etc.). But,
expecting that core Subversion developers will do it for you is absurd.
Remember that 'post-1.0' really means, 'Don't expect anyone to do this for
you. If it's important, *you* need to do this and drive the change.'
Personally, I'd be fine with _svn as long as .svn is also accepted. Win32
users can then default to _svn, and Unix users still default to .svn. As
long as both platforms support both options, then I don't much care. This
isn't even a bite-sized task - if half of the energy spent on this thread
were spent on the code, this would have been closed by now. -- justin
