Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of these limitations. Well, I suppose having a config knob for those who are aware of the multi-client issues and are using multiple clients will still be an improvement, regardless of whether this knob can be toggled from the server-side. After all, every client heeds the settings in ~/.subversion/config, so it's a set-it-once-and-forget-about-it solution to the problem.
