I dunno about "regression". My 1.6 working copies routinely have many, many extra tmpfiles lying around -- the contents of versioned files in various forms -- which only go away when I run 'svn cleanup'. There was a regression at some point in time, to be sure, but it was long ago. > Even if we do decide not to implement automatic deletion yet and just > rely on "svn cleanup", the reference-counting itself is, I think, a > piece of implementation that we definitely want. Absolutely! None of this discussion is (from my part, at least) meant to denounce the ref-counting work. I've been speaking solely of the expunge phase of pristine handling. -- C.
