I think someone posted earlier that 1.6 has already been branched, and
this would require a working copy update. I wonder if this can be done
as an option or something? Maybe when you install Tortoise or configure
Subclipse there could be an option for workspace type, and it could be
marked experimental? I distinctly remember Tortoise having an option to
rename the .svn folders to preserve compatibility with Visual Studio -
perhaps this could be something similar?
Also, while vendors use the working copy api to some extent - they also
get to do things their own way, I believe. Could the developers of
Tortoise and perhaps SVNKit/JavaHL decide to implement such a patch, and
do it without needing to have anything done in the core SVN for it?
