I thought my solution to the problem of Subversion branching was sufficiently insipid, brittle, inane, and absurd to be unique.

Oh, how I was wrong. It is precisely the prescribed solution according to the Subversion FAQ. That does vindicate me, though, in asserting that my solution was moronic, at least. If the manual, source code, or FAQ agrees, then it must be stupid and wrong.

I have given up at this point. I'm going to convert a raft of scripts into a single application (similar to svk) that just uses Subversion as a storage and data access layer, kind of like MySQL using BDB. I'm entirely too tempted to call it "Perversion", but that's low-hanging fruit.

I'll probably go with "aversion", and then my command can be abbreviated to "avn". That'll guarantee that no one can find it on google.
