There is a background story here.
Stefan Küng has repeatedly been complaining about wc-ng.
Not complaining about wc-ng, but about the performance of it. That's a
big difference.
His perception seems to be that wc-ng will ultimately hurt TortoiseSVN.
But this is not the intention of the Subversion project (of which Stefan
Küng is part of, BTW). Rather, the intention is to improve virtually
everything in working copy land for *all* Subversion clients.
I think Stefan Küng is expecting too much from wc-ng too early. The APIs
and implementation are still in flux and not finished. It is good that he
is voicing his concerns, because it allows the Subversion project to cater
to TortoiseSVN's needs. He isn't aware of some radical changes going on,
and naturally frowns upon them. But some of his comments come across as
a bit too dismissive.
I'm perfectly aware of the radical changes that are going on. And that's
what worries me. Every time I check what has changed I find more and
more things getting worse. And every time I raise my concerns I'm
promised that things will get better - and next time I check another
(usually small) thing I'm depending on got missing/removed or changed in
a way I can't use it anymore.
Also, the speed hasn't improved much in the last 8 months. It's still 11
times (!!) slower than 1.6.x. Since there was some talk about having 1.7
finished for devs to test it this fall - well, I think you can guess my
concerns here.
