Seems I have some problems understanding you guys here, so please don't
take this the wrong way.
- yes, working copies can be used by more than one user. But why would
that be a problem for server configs? I mean those configs are intended
to pass configurations/other information from the server to *all*
working copies (not just individual users). So a working copy used by
several people shouldn't be a problem?
- you can't do an 'svn revert' on a working copy and get rid of the
cached auth data either. That's never bothered anyone AFAIK. Also,
server configs are intended to be 'dictated' by the server (overridable
by the user perhaps), and a 'revert' would therefore not make much
sense. I think of such server configs like changes you get when you do
an 'svn update' - and you can'r 'svn revert' such changes either. You'd
have to do a merge to get rid of such changes.
