Changing this would certainly have a huge impact on the subversion
core, that's probably the reason why the question always generates a
big silence :P

Maybe
I have a wrong mind disposition or I misunderstood the philosophy of
SVN, but what I see is a cooperation problem. Let me try to explain.
Sometimes
arises the need to start an amendment involving a certain number of
files that are already under amendment by other developers.
This
usually can be faced at the end, when each branch is merged back, but
once in a while it happens that the merge is impossibile without
re-engeneering one or all the amendments (well, it can also happen to
start develop something that is already under development elsewere).
This is really really bad and tends to cost too much to be allowed to happen even once in my environment.
I
think that could be always avoided if each developer, BEFORE starting
to develop, can go and see what's going on inside the other branches to
the files he's going to amend, and syncronize himself with the other
developers involved.
Do you see the problem here?
Thanks,
Angelo.
