I wouldn't mind hearing from Paul, but I'm not sure that nicety is worth the annoyance of having the r/o svn mirror repository diverge from the writeable one. We spent quite a few cycles ensuring that the commit hashes are the same. I guess we could always force-push later, but that's a rather nasty thing to do in its own right. Regards, Adam
