Re: Checkins without prior checkout avoiding WC?

Max, thank you for your reply.

 From your reply I take it that my assumption is correct: checkin
without a working copy is not currently possible.

I will, thank you. I don't mind submitting patches to the svn client
that are accepted and made generally available, if there is no objection
  in principle to doing what I intend - ci without a working copy.

But I don't want to have to ship a custom "hacked" svn client binary (or
*any* binary) with this PHP app. It has to work with a (potential future
version of) the vanilla svn client. Is this a feature that could be
allowed in to the standard svn client with a published command-line api?
If not, I'll just stick to using a working copy, even tough it is
pointless from the perspective of this particular application.

Yes there are countless ways I can detect conflicts outside of svn.
Implementation details. (I'm thinking of a WebSVN level "locking"
mechanism, that eventually will be mapped into the "real" >1.2 svn
exclusive locking mechanism, but your method would work too)

Sincerely,

Peter
