I haven't heard any further feedback on this settings storage. I am
still favouring the new in-WC config file ('wc/.svn/config'). It seems
straightforward and understandable with hopefully not so much potential
for bikeshedding (no need for new command line options or commands, for
example).
On the 'multi-wc-format' branch I have completed the required test
framework modifications to allow testing multiple requested versions
(test suite '--wc-format-version' option; see the thread
"Multi-WC-format branch: preparing for merge to trunk").
Next I am running tests of pristines-on-demand merged with
multi-wc-format. As expected, tests fail when requesting the older
format, because right now it unconditionally expects the new format. The
pristines-on-demand behaviour needs to be made conditional on WC format.
At libsvn_client layer that's simple, while at libsvn_wc layer it is
also simple but requires a little bit of futzing to make two variants of
some existing wc-db queries, one with and one without the extra
'hydrated' column.
Once that is done, I plan to return to this per-WC config option storage.
