           Summary: WebKit patch rollout should use --ignore-ancestry
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW

WebKit patch rollout should try to use --ignore-ancestry.  If that fails, it should probably try again without it.  (I'm not sure if the repo would be left dirty after such an event or not.)

>From http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch09.html: "--ignore-ancestry   Tells Subversion to ignore ancestry when calculating differences (rely on path contents alone)."

In practice, the flag speeds things up substantially.

ccing abarth in case he knows who else might be interested.  I might take a look at this in the future, but don't have time at the moment.
