In issue #3765, I suggest the possibility of a CVS-style config file wherein a user could specify a set of default arguments for a given subcommand. For example, 'svn diff' would default to 'svn diff -x -p' if the config file had an entry for such. Thinking this would be an SMOP, I jumped in...only to discover that it isn't.
The actual implementation isn't hard, I'm just wondering about where the configuration should live. We have a ~/.subversion/config file, but these options aren't for the client library, they are specific to the commandline client. This makes me think that we should have a separate file for the commandline client, and that it may want to be something like ~/.svnrc or something equally commandline-ish. Thoughts? -Hyrum http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3765
