In an open source project, it is always beneficial to get "buy in" from
the main developers before working on a patch to make sure the
functionality
is something they would accept. I am never a fan of forking a project.

Most of this discussion has been more of a misunderstanding of the
intended use cases.

We have users that would benefit from some of the proposed information,
but they are still able to work (less productive) with the current
implementation.

We also could implement SVN functionality with a bunch of scripts on
top of RCS. Should we? Absolutely NOT!

Why do we use SVN? Because it makes us more productive!

Can SVN be made more productive and better? YES!

Will all new SVN features be absolutely necessary for me? Probably not,
but
I'm ok with that. People have different use cases.
