As someone who was close to the project when 'svn st -u' was conceived, I agree with Bert's evaluation of the intent of that feature, and by extension, agree that the behavior changed in a bad way -- albeit inadvertently -- when we added the depth stuff. But that's water under the bridge now. I agree with Stefan that any harm done by the behavior change has been done already, and there's no reason to further penalize API consumers with a second change of behavior. Let's just preserve the 1.6.x behavior for _status4(). -- C. Michael Pilato <cmpil...@collab.net> CollabNet <> www.collab.net <> Distributed Development On Demand
