The way I see it is yes, it will be a pain, but it is good for us to
experience at least the amount of pain that we expect many of our users
will (~have to) experience in their real use of Subversion. The idea (to
me) is that this will encourage us to make Subversion better at handling
this sort of real-life change, and become less blasé about telling users
that they can and should just cope with this sort of change without
better support from us.
For example, after we did a mass white-space change throughout our
repository a few years ago, we fairly swiftly implemented a "svn blame"
option to ignore whitespace changes.
