Yes, I think we all agree. Have you seen:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1002
   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1233
   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2447

(especially the first)?

I think r23306 (see issue #1233) may have added something close to what
you need. We might have to extend it to more operations than just 'add'
and 'import', though. Can you take a look? (I'm busy with another
issue right now.)

For some reason, your mail does not appear to have made it into the
tigris.org archive...

   http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=dev

...which is worrisome. Fortunately, I can find it in the svn.haxx.se
archives here:

   http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-09/0457.shtml

I've added it to issue #1002.

I'll now send a mail to the tigris.org admins, CC'ing you, about the
fact that your post doesn't seem to be in the archives there.
