Not really. It is interruptable if the network is alive, i.e. you can
tell neon to stop while it transfers data. But as long it waits for
data, it blocks waiting for it. You can still tell it to stop, but it
will only honor that after it receives at least one more byte and stops
waiting for data. (In short: you can stop it in between bytes
transferred now, not just in between operations).

That's because TSVN there forcefully kills the waiting thread (which is
unfortunately *never* a good idea).

btw: can you please send a mail to jrobbins at tigris.org too about the
TSVN repo not responding? Maybe my mail this afternoon didn't get through...
