It does, but requires the command distribution mechanism to look up
the correct object for itself on the receiving end. Merlin solves
this neatly already.

Even so, I kinda like it.

I agree with this. feature-branches belong in local repositories and
shouldn't be distributed to the global one. That svn makes repeeated
merging damn near impossible is a nuisance we'll have to live with, I
guess, but so long as we maintain them locally they needn't ever hit
svn at all. That's probably for the best.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
