"open as web folder" - webdav add, import, delete

[solo turn <so...@yahoo.com>]

hi!

explorer allows to see a url as "web folder". currently you are just
able to browse it (it looks like a normal explorer window).

great would be if you could add/import/delete files via
webdav-interface, i.e. you could:
- drag files to a repository folder window (=svn import/add)
- delete files from a repository folder window (=svn rm url)
  this should be an easy and quick win

might this be somehow related to issues 510, 913 too, which are
planned for 0.18?

Ahh, found it. Issue 786.

The autoversion branch that Sussman is working on will support that. 
It's not exactly an "easy and quick win" because Explorer is going 
direct to the repository via WebDAV but doesn't speak DeltaV (the part 
of the protocol that deals with versioning). So Subversion needs to 
translate from the plain commands to versioned ones. And since there's 
no working copy to batch changes and commit them together, you might end 
up with more revisions than you really intended and you definitely will 
have no commit messages.

I think this feature will be most useful when hierarchical repositories 
are supported (also a post-1.0 feature, verging on "flying cars" I 
think). You can have a local repository with auto versioning so you have 
history of whenever you save. You can push the stuff upstream when 
you've finished your change and supply the commit messages.

I don't see any relation. There is an issue for it, but I can't seem to 
find it right now. It's marked post-1.0. Sussman is only working in it 
in non-CollabNet time.
