I've put a fair amount of thought into this proposal, and have run some Subversion simulations to make sure it works smoothly.

What do others think?

Mostly great. I'm concerned about these time slots. They don't seem necessary in principle since subversion has atomic commits, and they seem like they could introduce spurious lock contention on the repository. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
