The kind of things I'm wondering are (and forgive me if my questions
betray my ignorance of svn internals):
1. Is the .svn-directory-per-directory going away, or just being
replaced with a SQLite representation of data? If it remains, then
presumably you can still copy a subtree elsewhere and work on it. If it
goes away, then hopefully there will be new commands to achieve the same
results.
2. Will there be merely incremental performance enhancements to
operations that appear to scale according to tree size, or are we going
to see order-of-magnitude or better performance enhancements? And to
which operations will they apply? It would be nice in particular to see
cleanup/update/merge have a better sense of the state of your WC and run
faster. Even better if stat/commit did not have to scan the whole tree
(though it seems to me that this would depend on having something
running in the background).
