-Some thoughts on repository-dictated configuration
-
-Introduction
-============
-Many software development shops of non-trivial size desire to have an enforce
-a uniform configuration environment among the various clients which commit
-to their repositories.  Although these shops may have the ability to control
-the environment on the client machines (dictating software versions, etc),
-relying upon the client for setting various configuration parameters can
-be time-consuming and problematic.
-
-Subversion already provides the means of enforcing much (but not all) of this
-configuration through the hook script mechanism.  What our users desire is
-some way of having the server dictate a default or recommended configuration
-to clients.  The parameters of interest typically come from the standard
-client-side config: things like global-excludes or auto-props.  Allowing the
-administrator to store a default config on the server, which then gets pushed
-to the clients, would save both time and frustration.
-
-
-Behavioral specification
-========================
-The high-level behavior for repository-dictated configuration is relatively
-simple: the repository maintains a list of configuration parameters and
-values, and upon request, provides these to the client who then applies them
-appropriately.
-
-It should be noted that the configuration the server dictates is only a
-*suggestion* to the client.  Clients may choose to override the suggestion
-with a configuration of their own, so appropriate server-side enforcement
-(often via hook scripts) is still recommended.
-
-
-Server-client transmission mechanism
-====================================
-As part of the OPTIONS request, the client will send to the server the 
-sha1 hash of the version of the server-dictated config that it current has
-cached.  If the server has a different version, it will send that to the
-client in the OPTIONS response.
-
-
-Server-side storage
-===================
-[TODO]
-
-
-Client-side storage
-===================
-The client current maintains a global configuration file in
-~/.subversion/config  This feature will introduce the ~/.subversion/repos/
-directory, which will hold additional subdirectories keyed on the UUID of the
-repository.  It is in this subdirectory that the cached version of the
-repository configuration will be stored.

-Configuration Hierarchy
