The only argument that I found against this approach that we will have many different modes depending of server/client versions and configurations:
client server behavior 1.8.x-serf 1.8.x skelta-mode without propfinds (unless configured by server) 1.8.x-serf 1.7.x bulk-mode 1.7.x-serf 1.7.x skelta-mode with propfinds 1.7.x-neon 1.7.x bulk-mode But it makes sense: upgrading only one part (server or client) doesn't change network protocol, which is good thing IMHO. -- Ivan Zhakov VisualSVN Team
