Yes, so until subversion is fixed such that it isn't so intrusive
within the working copy,
it would be nice to put in a simple patch to allow people to make
progress. Even
if the metadata weren't sprinkled about the working copy everywhere,
there would still
be problems because the working copy is extremely fragile in its
current state. External
tools just magnify the issue. I don't like the fact that it
apparently was not a design
goal for the working copy to be robust and tolerant of error
conditions. If you compare it
to CVS, it is vastly more complex and is much easier to break.
So until the whole thing is re-written to be robust, it would be nice
to patch the bugs. Not
everybody uses subversion to control text source code.
