On dev only, not production. I can dig through the mailing list  
archives, but if my recollection is correct, this was discussed here  
and agreed to by Bill.

I've shared that concern. I still think we shouldn't change commit  
behavior; just be prepared that sometimes the Hudson builds will fail  
while you're in the midst of something.

In part this is also a result of our not better exploiting the  
capabilities of version control. It's arguably not the best idea to do  
development of features or changes that amount to more than "atomic"  
bug fixes on the main trunk.

If we were on git, this would probably mostly solve itself, as  
branching and switching between branches is just so easy that there  
are few excuses not to do it. Merges back to master would then contain  
all the changes that as a whole would not break the build. But it's  
not that svn doesn't support branching and merging.

I don't know - ask for one if you need one (do you?).
