Um, did you actually run that command? Did you actually *look* at the
contents of the .svn directories? They contain .text-base files, so a
find like you've written above would not pick up any of the pristine copies.
Before posting demanding fancy new features that are dubious at best
(compression will improve performance? exqueeze me?) maybe you should
take some time to figure out what the tool actually does *today*.
Cheers,
Mike.
