Hmm. It also occurs to me that the one of the side-effects of
how we work is that we aren't often checking out new working
copies. I guess this isn't as big of an issue as I first thought
it might be. Let me just ask that the new code will still support
WC's which are used among multiple people (for those who need to
work that way), but I agree that that ability need not influence
the default behavior of svn.
