That's not what we have today. > We never really supported multi line svn:special files or really anything > except symlinks... and the idea back then was to never start supporting > those cases either. If the svn:special file has content that that does not represent a link we chose to put an ordinary file containing the pristine content into the working copy. Given that choice it seems ridiculous for the file to contain only part of the pristine content. I think it is much more sensible for the file to contain the whole content and I don't see how that would cause a problem. -- Philip Martin | Subversion Committer WANdisco // *Non-Stop Data*
