I hope this was somewhat tongue in cheek? I am on your side, I am just
trying to explore the issue. I think I used poor wording and apologize.
My point was that the overwhelming majority of those TSVN users you
describe would never run into this parm, the ones that do would be ones
where someone decided they needed it. In those scenarios, I believe that
the "user" would have had TSVN installed by their IT, and they would not
know to complain to anyone else, let alone look for an alternative client.
That is what I meant by "irrelevant".

If the user is warned but can override it, but then a hook stops it, how
did that help? Especially if it took a long time to send the commit to
the server. As I said, I wouldn't expect stopping the user to be the
default, but it seems like a reasonable option to enable.

Who cares if they are bogus? If you work in an audited industry you have
no choice but comply. I am not suggesting that anyone WANTS to have to
undergo these audits. They have just become a fact of life.
