OK, I agree. Keeping things on trunk and hiding them at compile-time
is also less work than moving lots of code around.
So it sounds like we have consensus on the following:
* x-wc-copy-mods should simply be moved out of experimental status
* shelving should be reverted to v1 or hidden at compile- or run-time
* viewspec (in svn info) should be hidden at compile- or run-time
Given the release target date for 1.14 (April) we should be creating
a release branch within the next two weeks at the latest. Otherwise,
we are likely going to miss the 4-week soak window on time for April.
Is anyone able to perform the work necessary for our experimental
features above? I do consider this topic a release blocker, so if
it isn't dealt with soon then we would either have to delay 1.14 or
decide to release with experimental features as-is.
