My only complaint about the proposal is that there is a pretty cool (and I
think, useful) bit of functionality and CVS parity that we can get by just
going a step further. Instead of just a boolean excluded/included bit for
each entry, why not provide the ability to dictate the revision you'd like
to "stick" on for a given entry, and then allow SVN_INVALID_REVNUM (speaking
from an implementation perspective here, certainly not a UI one) mean "stick
this entry at a state of being excluded altogether"?

(For some reason, I thought this was already included in breser's proposal
... obviously I misremembered.)
