yes, but WHY does svn need a configuration directory, if there is
nothing to configure and nothing to save?
or do you want to say, that one should not use "svn" for such a kind
of operation, but "svnlook"? or, if you could use "svn", there is a
good reason for the config-dir and you have to have it. then i think i
should post the question on the websvn list ...
