Again the defensive tone; svn has many design decisions that I have no idea
if those are relevant for all users (do you?). After talking on IRC I
gather that the whole handling of the points I proposed a couple of small
optional optimisations to, is in desperate need of a rewrite. And has been
for a long time; with mail-threads like these; where people attack ideas
without trying to grok the idea first, time is wasted where code could be
written.

Where did I do that? Be serious here; I did not propse you drop this; I
just confirmed that in one specific use case old functionality will not
work anymore. This is normal in software development and is generally
called refactoring. You _could_ for example try to find out which people
this effects and make the functional change an option. (for example).

Ahh; the personal attack, how did we get here so fast? No technical
arguments left?
Please; keep your eyes on the ball and actually try to work together here.
Or be honest and tell me to piss off so I won't waste my time trying to help
svn become a better product for less-then-small projects.
