I was talking about supressing svn lock/unlock. I don't think anyone cares
about
the internal svn behavior - locking or unlocking files, even setting
properties.

About having a separate list - we had this discussion countless times
before,
having stuff on a list or another doesn't force anyone to read them, those
who
do want to read them will subscribe to a list ( or set a filter ) anyway,
those who
don't will also set a filter or ignore them.

Some projects have a separate
[svn|commits|cvs|[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.  We
could do that, but then you can into the mode of reminding all
committers to subscribe to those lists.  Having stuff on the dev lists
encourages all developers to look at commits, raising the inspection
level a bit one would think.

And honestly, people who want to filter these messages out can do so,
whether they are on their own list or on this one.  It's quite easy to
create rules for them, including temporary filters like to handle
today's unusual amount of messages.

So all in all, let's treat today as the unusual event it was in terms
of volume of SVN messages, and keep things the same unless people have
strong objections.
