That's true, except that that debate might be one more easily solved.

The fact that there's a camp of people who want the non-blocking
behaviour, and a camp of people (well, me at least) who like the
idea of not having to completely kill apache to recover a single
svn repository, indicate that perhaps we need to support both modes
of operation.

I am perfectly happy with the non-blocking mode as the default.
If my camp really contains only me, then the debate is over; not
every design decision has to be hard-fought.
