Hi Greg. > When you start including ACLs, then r1234 might look different to two people.

A revision will not get elided just because no changes are visible in it. I was talking about per-node changes. To quote again from my original mail, "The ability to commit a new revision with no changes is fine -- a new revision number in Subversion does not imply a change." Similarly, the ability to see or extract a revision with no (visible) changes is and will remain perfectly fine. - Julian
