Re: WC-NG: Perhaps it's time to write a new summary of where we stand at the moment?

This is very close in the client, but there is still a good chunk of
work in libsvn_wc.

This looks to be done. libsvn_client has no more uses/references.
There are still some references in libsvn_wc, but that appears to be
for backwards compatibility only.

Hyrum was doing some work to clarify access_t uses in libsvn_wc. Not
sure where he is with that.

Should happen within a week.

No plans yet. We probably need to remove entry_t uses before tackling this.

Julian is working on this. I believe it is getting close for new
working copies, but we do not have a migration/upgrade story yet.

We have work items which perform database work inside *and* perform
file operations. These need to be turned inside-out to perform the db
operation and queue file updates within one sqlite txn.

There are a number of places where we perform several db operations
outside of a sqlite txn, which means failure could leave us in a
corrupted state. See svn_wc_add_repos_file4 for an example (note:
other than that, the function is now at our wc-ng "ideal" design).

Meh. I don't use the tracker as a to-do list. The set of work is too
fluid for something as rigid as that.

It's always fine!
