I know Karl was planning to debug some transient problem by checking
out an old tree by date and debugging that. I doubt combining
libsvn_string and libsvn_subr would affect that --- functions could
get linked at different addresss; is that important? --- but it's
probably preferable to keep the tree reproduceable. I'd recommend
against mving anything in the repository.
