Well aware of that. We've already cut a number of plans from 1.7.
There is a lot more that I'd like to do with libsvn_wc, but won't get
done for 1.7.
We're trying to get this out in a reasonable timeframe.

And I still maintain that. The real client improvements will come from
reducing I/O, and *that* is being done by moving to a single .svn
subdir per wcroot. 1.6 did not have a good platform for further
improvements, and it still doesn't.

Yup. I said "until at least end of October", and based on markphip's
burndown charts, it is looking much more like December (at least).
He's going to repost a chart early next week. We'll see how things are
going.
Bert has jumped into the fray and is doing a bang-up job. We have
additional patches coming in from a couple new contributors; we're
slower to apply those, but they are quite helpful.

Don't be insulting.
We're working hard. It is taking more time than expected. For myself,
my wedding and a move from EU back to the States has distracted me for
several months. So sue me that I haven't had as much time as I may
have thought.

And I said it back then: I have money to put on that. Do you? I will
*still* bet on that. Put up.

Are you saying that I'm bailing?
If I'm off my a few months, then I'll accept that. But don't even
start to assume that I'm "bailing".
None of us want a lifecycle like 1.5, and we won't let that happen. If
you think that will happen, then place a bet against me. Go ahead.
And I don't recall a single patch from you to help speed up this
development. If you start to dig into libsvn_wc and produce some work,
then I will believe that you understand what is happening here. That
you understand the difficulties we are working with. The scope of the
problem. I've seen others pony up, and be brave.
AND the variability and unknowns that we have run into since February,
both in terms of code and in life. Shit happens.
Yes, I'm cranky. You're insulting my integrity. I can take blame for
bad estimations, and be off by a few months. Fine. But don't push it
further than that.
