It is true that I was not prepared to implement this feature myself
when I proposed it. Not having any knowledge of bash or Python, I
would have to use SVN from C, which will take me considerable
time. I am only learing SVN and giving my feedback about what I
think are obvious inefficiencies of its user interface.
I had already written about an extension of the caret syntax
to take the current working directory into account, so that, being
in svn/trunk/project/xml/ , one does not have to type
svn cp ^/trunk/project/xml/1.xml ^/trunk/project/xml/2.xml
but can simply say:
svn cp ~~/1.xml ~~/2.xml or
svn cp --remote 1.xml 2.xml
or something else to the same effect, so as not to repeat the paths
from the repository root.
I use SVN at work, so what I ask here is a personal and egoistical
request to make my professional life better, but I hope that other
users find the proposal convenient too. In return, I am contributing
to other free and open-source projects, but not, currently, to SVN.
