Hi Alfonso,

I wouldn't expect svn up to ever pull down f2 again, you have
requested that it be excluded (I don't think this is what you mean,
but your use of "yet" gives me pause).

I do agree that there should be some way (e.g. svn info or svnversion)
to determine that we have excluded subtrees in our working copy. Is
that what you are getting at?

Paul
