I'm sure they can agree on some sort of property if the Ankh team can
make it work (you never know with M$ stuff)...

Thank you for seeing and commenting the idea and not the faults in the
suggestion.

The thought behind Subversion pushing was that it would have happened,
if they'd wanted it to. If they'd put it in "text-", all the better. I
fully agree that in the long run, it should not have been a part of
Subversion.
However, with me behind the keyboard, pushing, it just won't happen. And
if some folks I know cared to decide something, that standard would have
the chance of a snowball in hell. As far as I'm concerned, the idea is
as dead as the proverbial doorknob unless someone else picks it up.
