A couple more subversion notes

[Richard Kenner]

     Are there any maintainers (folks in MAINTAINERS) who have objections or
     concerns?

Well, I haven't tried it myself yet, so what I'm going by is hearsay but
I do share the concern that it's looking like this is a change that may
make the common things harder and slower in order to make the less common
operations faster and/or easier.  If so, that may not be the right tradeoff.
