Searching the mailing list archives, this question has come up a couple of times: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2013-08/0552.shtml http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2013-04/0119.shtml http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2011-08/0422.shtml http://svn.haxx.se/tsvn/archive-2010-04/0075.shtml But none of these threads really brings the discussion to a close (and it's not clear whether it's easily implementable within the current svn design). Maybe it's a good idea, whether or not it's doable, to at least add this to the issue tracker as a feature request. Zvika, feel free to enter this into the issue tracker. -- Johan
