Since I'm being speculated upon, I guess I should offer my opinion :-)
IMO, this situation is identical to the "svn:keywords canonicalization" one.
We have a new feature, which is broken.
Reverting it is an improvement over not reverting it, but fixing it would be
an improvement over both.
The issue is, the fix would require new ra_svn and ra_dav methods. Which is
a fairly big thing to backport.
Thoughts?
