Please keep in mind that 'svn blame' isn't the only way of figuring out
who did what. In subversion's own project, whenever we merge code from
one branch to another, we always say in the log message: "merging rX:Y
of foobranch to barbranch." We can then go and run 'svn log -rX:Y
foobranchURL', and examine the original changesets (and see who commit
which changeset.)
So, while I admit that having 'svn blame' would certainly be the most
*convenient* way to find the author of a line of code, it's not the
only way. The information is still available, you just have to do a
bit more digging via 'svn log' and 'svn diff'.
