Sorry, missed that half of that thread. I've read it now.

Brane brings up the good point that, regardless of whether svnrc is
sensitive to --config-dir, it will need to be sensitive to --no-rc.
At which point, parsing order of --config-dir is a solved problem.

And I still think that 90% of end users, maybe 99%, do _not_ think of
Subversion as a stack of libraries that just happens to also ship some
command-line wrapper programs as a convenience. Consequently I think
they'd prefer the smaller top-level-dotfile footprint of
~/.subversion/svnrc, even if we would historically regard it
as a layering violation.
