Yeah, except that you can do it on the client (there is no "server" to do 
that in). There's no need to ask a sysadmin to do it for you then wait.

No doubt, but it's a loss of functionality.

The current kdepimlibs is made up of mostly libraries moved from other 
places. If you annotate on it, you see a barrier which is the initial 
copy.

It's not difficult to restart your research from another path. It's just a 
hassle that we don't have in Subversion...
