+1 here, but can we first make everyone of us run with SVN_ENABLE_NG
for a week or two, before we make it the default? I'd hate to run into
show-stopper bugs that make working copies unusable without having a
convenient way to revert to wc-1.

Since it's so easy to run wc-ng by just setting an env var, I don't
think anyone would not try it if you said "everyone, please set the
env var now, we think it's ready". And that might already uncover
some bugs.
