This makes a lot of sense. I'll no longer consider filing the feature
request.

Is there a way to control log messages with this?

(I'll go hit google later tonight, so please ignore my question if its too
simple.)

I considered this, but had seen (or either made up that I had seen) glimpses
somewhere of WebDAV request/responses that go between the svn command line
client and mod_dav_svn and they looked wicked enough to scare me into the
assumption this WebDAV/deltaV option was too hard to roll on my own.

I'd really appreciate it. My problem is doing GET/PUT into an SSL, digest
auth svn repo.

Awhile ago, I originally tried to use Greg Stein's old "Class 1" davlib.py,
but it uses httplib and so doesn't support SSL or digest auth (or both, I
forget) - that is when I fell over to py-curl as it very nicely supports
both.

Sounds like I should just go read up on WebDAV and that it won't be that
hard to implement. If anyone wants to give me a hint about the series of
verbs I'd need to put in just one file at a time and it's associated log
message, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Stephen
