some questions about wc-ng

Hey Stefan, Hyrum,

I have read the following files recently and I have some questions:
1) notes/wc-ng-design
2) libsvn_wc/wc-metadata.sql
3) libsvn_wc/wc_db.h
4) Read the "State of the WC-NG World" thread on dev@
   http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=2373285

>In the thread "State of the WC-NG World" gstein said

But how can we use svn_wc_context_t across distinct working copies?
svn_wc_context_t is an opaque structure which contains a pointer to an
svn_wc__db_t. As I understand we have one-db-per-working copy right
now. So if we want to use svn_wc_context_t across distinct wc, should
it contain multiple svn_wc__db_t?

I saw work_queue table in libsvn_wc/wc-metadata.sql and I do not know
what "work" really is. Is it the same thing as "sqlite-based queue of
operations" mentioned above?

I am tring to follow the dev@ and svn@ maillist. But some topics in them are
a little hard for me to understand and it takes me lot of time to read them.
Any good suggestions to deal with the mails? :)

I am not very clear on where to begin my new work right now. My plan is in
the next few days:
1) Read more docs and make myself more clear about wn-ng.
2) Try to remove svn_wc_entry_t and svn_wc_adm_access_t reference in
libsvn_wc and libsvn_client, especially in functions about commit, and use
svn_wc_context>t instead.
3) Try to understand how can we do commit based on wc-ng.

Best
Huihuang
