Thanks for the insight, Philip.
So I guess the question remains, whether it should be removed or not and
if it is removed whether it should also be removed from 1.8 and 1.9.
I can just provide some thoughts from the users point of view here, in
case u want to take that into account for ur decision:
The script as it stands right now is not usable with any of the three
versions (1.8, 1.9, 1.10). It simply doesn't work without modification
on the WC. Therefore to a user it looks like it's bugged.
That leaves it with the single usage of acting as some means of
documentation for someone to approach the use-case to detach part of a WC.
Given that there is no other way to do this with the core SVN version,
it would not be unreasonable to keep that script for this purpose.
So guess there would be three options to go:
1. make the detach-script compatible with 1.8/1.9 and provide this in a
bugfix release
2. add some documentation to the script to point out it's an experiment
and can be used as a starting point, if someone needs the functionality
and cannot use a different approach
3. drop the script

Stefan
