Nico, you have been repeating this point over and over again like a broken record. I expect every subscriber to this list is already very much aware of your opinion on this matter ;-) The prompt (which I added years ago) was an improvement, yes. But I don't expect this default behaviour (prompt) to change, ever, and I see no reason to keep discussing this point. It's many years too late for that now. The default behaviour can be adjusted globally by the system admin with a small config file in /etc/subversion. OpenBSD has been installing such a file for many years and there has never been any complaint. http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/devel/subversion/files/servers?rev=1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup I recommend you do the same on systems you maintain, and move on.
