You're aware that MacPorts subversion already has a hack to normalize
the other way, at least over the wire. :)
Sure, if you want to turn on such normalization, you pretty much have to
dump and reload the repository as well as upgrading all working copies
(again). Either that, or use form-independent comparison on the server,
which isn't such a bad idea anyway. Doing that in wc.db is probably harder.
