But if you don't check it out, and can look at it easily with
'svn ls' then who cares?
If node exists in the repository, but it isn't in your workspace,
does it really exist? :-)
As a longtime CVS user, I always wanted a command to show me all
possible tags. I generally checked this via a file that was
(supposedly) always tagged, but that's a kluge, is it not?
'svn ls root/tags' is always going to be complete.
And what's this with "tags folders all over the place" or "folders
full of all sorts of stuff that I don't really want to see most of
the time"?
Why in the world would you need to see them all the time? Just check
out root/trunk and you'll NEVER see them unless you want to!
