Sorry, missed that half of that thread. I've read it now. Brane brings up the good point that, regardless of whether svnrc is sensitive to --config-dir, it will need to be sensitive to --no-rc. At which point, parsing order of --config-dir is a solved problem. And I still think that 90% of end users, maybe 99%, do _not_ think of Subversion as a stack of libraries that just happens to also ship some command-line wrapper programs as a convenience. Consequently I think they'd prefer the smaller top-level-dotfile footprint of ~/.subversion/svnrc, even if we would historically regard it as a layering violation. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
