Oh that one, i'm sorry, i confused your thread with another recent one.

You asked how to get a raw dump because you didn't want a .svn directory, and said "No-one is ever going to be editing there." That's what svn export does, exactly. Produce you a raw dump disconnected from subversion, without .svn directories, for when you aren't going to be editing. You didn't ask how work was going on making a no-text-base copy of subversion, so nobody really told you? > Please note the last paragraph. I am > *volunteering* to make it happen.

Expressing an opinion that something is unlikely to > happen, based on lengthy discussions that indicate they wont, Where do you see lengthy discussion saying it won't? That's the part i consider fear mongering. Last I spoke to Karl Fogel, and Ben Collins-Sussman (two key subversion developers), they were in no way opposed to such a feature, and in fact, happy to see it. Karl, Ben, have you ever seen a lengthy discussion indicating that compressed and no-text base working copies are unlikely to happen? --Dan
