ah, right... with all the talk of svn server, and centralized metadata
improvements, file seeks, etc.. I guess I was barking up the wrong tree.
Sorry for the noise.

Probably something like the following is more relevant to see what
machinations other vcs's go through to try and attain efficiency
(without resorting to "svn edit" type modes):

(note: I'm not suggesting this as a specific solution in any way...)

I am hoping that the wc-ng improvements are such that this "svn edit"
option isn't really necessary to use except for very large scale cases
(wishful?)
