I take that you are referring to Sasha's change in ae35b304; I asked for actual svn users for ACK/NACK but I did not hear any. Can I understand that you use svnimport for real projects and are happy with Sasha's change? --- that would be an ack that would help me sleep better ;-).

This sort of makes sense but how common is this?

I also wonder instead of piling up custom flags if it is better to let match-and-extract pattern be specified from the command line.
