It's implemented on trunk, so if you want to try out a trunk build that could
help you out. Sometime soon we're going to get a 1.9.0-alpha1 out, which might
mean some binary packages appear that include the support. At this point no
changes have been made to the working copy format so you should be able to use
the trunk/1.9 client with existing 1.8 working copies (that may change before
1.9 releases though).
If you're interested in this I'd suggest you take a look. This is a great
point to get feedback on new features and for us to make changes as a result.
