I strongly disagree.

PCL-CVS and VC-Dir have been doing the same for years with
great success. It shouldn't cause problems. But indeed, to make it
work well requires extra care.

I suspect you mean to add a "Don't" at the very beginning. It'd be
acceptable to add such a (mis)feature, but it should very clearly be OFF

by default.
