Yes, sorry, I should have been more specific (or more general, depending
on how you look at it). The one [possibly serious] drawback is that
this data isn't "connected" to the WC in any way except internal to the
client code, so deleting the WC files in the filesystem doesn't remove
all data associated with that repository.

And a simple 'svn release' isn't trivial, since you could have multiple
WC's from the same repository (so you wouldn't want to delete those
files). I suppose the repository could just push out the missing data
if ever the config files were deleted (on purpose or by accident).
