It mostly violates the principle of least surprise and is a cosmetic blemish. I'd suspect that a lot of people use Subversion for their own or their company development, and the default behaviour looks strange. It was certainly surprising to me in any event. A default of not having that turned on but an option to turn it on seems like the most reasonable thing, given that the option is so closely tied to FreeBSD development. > It might be a good idea to move this thread to the -docs mailing list, I will subscribe to that. -- Mason Loring Bliss (( If I have not seen as far as others, it is because mason@blisses.org )) giants were standing on my shoulders. - Hal Abelson
