Which of the classes of user that I outlined do you think wants to be able to

able to do it (although I'd prefer a more lightweight port). I would expect
the same to apply to the sort of engaged user who is willing to bisect to track
down a bug.
bug reporter: I have this new bug...
developer: Can you try rolling back to xyzzy
bug reporter: Yeah that fixes it..
developer: Ok.. patch will follow....
And do you think that the sort of user who is sufficiently engaged with the
project to do this is the sort of user who would not be willing to do so if it
meant installing the subversion port? If so, then there is a clear case for
svnlite.
I think that it lowers the barrier.. once you start bringing ports
into the picture you start running the risk of port revision hell.
