I think making the pristine files optional would work for me.
Here’s an idea.
Instead of having pristine copies of all files, how about adding
to the pristine directory only when a file is changed?
You know, that's a great idea! I wonder why we never thought of it
ourselves? :)
Wouldn't that mean that you need to have some daemon service (or file
watcher or something) running to determine if a file is modified?
Also, it would mean you would need a constant connection to the
server to use a subversion working copy.
Not necessarily. Take a look at how FSVS does its magic.
http://fsvs.tigris.org/
It functions in a similar manner to the svn command-line tool, but works
without requring a .svn folder. Which is why I prefer it for doing
version control of system configuration files on a Linux server.
