This is what I think svn could do:
1) Elevate bug ID to a full-fledged citizen, like the log message. A lot
of the validation and configuration for that could then be part of
Subversion. This seems unlikely they will do. Compromise seemed to be to
allow revprops to be part of the commit. That was the Bug ID I
referenced.
2) Configuration. Perhaps do something to help us with the config
options. The main thing would be to define config in repository and have
that pushed to client. Then we could just piggy-back on that. I do not
know how likely that is.
I wonder if revprops on rev 0 could somehow be stored in the WC? Perhaps
that would be how they would do it?
Otherwise, I think all that svn could really do would be to publicize the
"conventions" we adopt and encourage other GUI clients to do the same.
Maybe we just need Joel to write an article on this :)
