Yes, typical SVN use cases are of no concern.

One case I could imagine where this might matter is some automated
service which records user-provided files in SVN.
Another case is where people use SVN to version home directories
which include a Downloads folder with files such as images from
the internet.

That's all a bit far fetched, though I know of one person using SVN
to keep /home under version control.

And nobody has been asking for it to be enabled?

I don't remember anybody asking...

I doubt many users explicitly enable it on other platforms either, but we do
an autodetect there, which usually just works.

There's svnpubsub.  In a nutshell, svnpubsub sits in the post-commit
hook and broadcasts the commit to TCP listeners, and svnwcsub is
a listener that runs 'svn update' and also has a post-update hook.

@all, do we have a good documentation of what svnpubsub _is_?
Neither https://subversion.apache.org/faq#website-auto-update nor
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/server-side/svnpubsub/README.txt
actually explain what svnpubsub is.

Cheers,
