        * vc-svn.el (vc-svn-dir-status): Disable the vc-stay-local-p
        logic, it makes the makes the normal case too slow.

You reported this slowdown as bug#2117.  It probably manifested itself now
as I recently fixed some problems with vc-stay-local here:

        * vc-svn.el (vc-svn-dir-status): Correct logic for remote
        connection.  (Bug#2093)

In response to bug#2117 I suggested that I suggested that vc-stay-local-p need
not be slow if vc-svn-registered need parsed the SVN controlled text-base
directory instead of executing "svn status -v DIR".

Why did you not reply to this suggestion?

We could undo each other's changes but it probably wouldn't be very
constructive.  I spent a fair amount of time going through the stay-local logic
trying to preserve functionality that vc-dired had and that Stefan has agreed
is desirable.

Frankly, I don't think that adding a line like:

         (remote (or t (not local) (eq local 'only-file))))

can really be considered a contribution to Emacs development.
