MVP is what Evgeny created, but selectively turned on, or not, per WC. When turned on, it doesn't mean "store no pristines" in that WC. I'm thinking two things would make the explanation more accessible. 1. Docs: release notes is a good start (thanks Nathan) but somewhere more (svn help?) too. 2. Feedback: svn should print progress notifications (maybe gated on '--verbose'), that make clear when and what it is doing with the pristines. Number 2 would make a great volunteer contribution if anyone's willing to dip in to the branch code. It's just a matter of extending our existing notifier callback and making the hydrate/dehydrate call back to it. - Julian
