I think that the `pristines-on-demand-on-mwf` branch is now ready for a merge to trunk. I could do that, assuming there are no objections. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/pristines-on-demand-on-mwf The branch includes the following: – Core implementation of the new mode where required pristines are fetched at the beginning of the operation. – A new --store-pristine=yes/no option for `svn checkout` that is persisted as a working copy setting. – An update for `svn info` to display the value of this new setting. – A standalone test harness that tests main operations in both --store-pristine modes and gets executed on every test run. – A new --store-pristine=yes/no option for the test suite that forces all tests to run with a specific pristine mode. The branch passes all tests in my Windows and Linux environments, in both --store-pristine=yes and =no modes. While here, I would like to raise a topic of incorporating a switch from SHA1 to a different checksum type (without known collisions) for the new working copy format. This topic is relevant to the pristines-on-demand branch, because the new "is the file modified?" check relies on the checksum comparison, instead of comparing the contents of working and pristine files. And so while I consider it to be out of the scope of the pristines-on-demand branch, I think that we might want to evaluate if this is something that should be a part of the next release.
