Where will subversion be located ? I hope it's /usr/ccs/bin/ like all
the other development stuff...
BTW: When subversion will become a part of Solaris I'd like to propose a
project which looks at some platform-specific optimisations for
subversion, including some hacks to libsvn_wc (the code which handles
the subversion working copy) to make it faster and employ XATTR files
instead of the .svn/ directories...
I don't believe it will actually make it go faster since XATTR files are
just files in a special directory at the end of the day.
I think this is wasted time. The whole XATTR API is brain dead and
should IMHO be depreciated in favor of a extension which will allow
all applications to access such attribute files. You should also take
into consideration that the XATTR API will not be supported on any
other operating systems in the foreseeable future due its brokenness.
So if it is just the API that is broken we can fix that. Apple's HFS+
has extended attributes as well and uses them quite heavily as far as I
can tell. Their API is different to the openat(2) that Solaris has though.
