In issue #3765, I suggest the possibility of a CVS-style config file
wherein a user could specify a set of default arguments for a given
subcommand. For example, 'svn diff' would default to 'svn diff -x -p'
if the config file had an entry for such. Thinking this would be an
SMOP, I jumped in...only to discover that it isn't.
The actual implementation isn't hard, I'm just wondering about where
the configuration should live. We have a ~/.subversion/config file,
but these options aren't for the client library, they are specific to
the commandline client. This makes me think that we should have a
separate file for the commandline client, and that it may want to be
something like ~/.svnrc or something equally commandline-ish.
~/.svnrc makes perfect sense to me (with /etc/svnrc as a system-wide
default, if you wanna roll that way).
What about ~/.subversion/cli or ~/.subversion/command-line-client. If somebody
wants to copy an existing configuration from another user, they just can't copy
~/.subversion now.
