Re: New SHA1 property for nodes returned 'svn ls --xml' invocations.

It's very exciting to hear that Subversion already calculates shas somewhere in the backend :)

I can't find the cadaver source repo, but a tar.gz for v0.23.3 is on the site. Unarchiving that, and using ack to find 'sha' (case insensitive) yields no matches.

Can you direct me to any reproducable way of getting a sha out of a subversion repo for a node, from the client side? I'll just attach Charles to inspect the wire as I did for svnmucc (that lesser known binary that distributes with svn).

Regards,
