I wouldn't mind hearing from Paul, but I'm not sure that nicety is worth =
the annoyance of having the r/o svn mirror repository diverge from the =
writeable one.  We spent quite a few cycles ensuring that the commit =
hashes are the same.  I guess we could always force-push later, but =
that's a rather nasty thing to do in its own right.  Regards,
