To play devil's advocate to your devil's advocate (would that be an angel's
advocate?): why implement something like changelists? Why not just edit a file
and use '--targets'? What about merge tracking? Fact is we've not made many
secrets about how the internals of Subversion work, but we've (often) gone to
great lengths to simplify its usage for our users.
All that being said, I understand the desire to not add more options to svnsync,
but in this case, I feel it's warranted.
