I was proposing this line as a slight extension of the one currently in
the SF patch.  In accordance with Martin I am still unconvinced that
'svn info -R' or more fancy tools are really useful here.

If you meant that the following situation is possible:

    trunk$  svn up
    At revision xxx.
    trunk$  svn info
    Last Changed Rev: 10000
    trunk$  cd Python
    trunk/python$  svn info
    Last Changed Rev: 10001

then I object.  As far as I can tell this is not possible.


A bientot,

Armin
