The algorithm as implemented works like this:

1) Lookup PATH in the hash
2) If match or null, done
3) PATH = dirname(PATH)
4) goto 1

Therefore, it will find the longest possible match in the hash.
So, if you did something like this:

$ cd web/visualdistortion/somewhere
$ svn checkout http://...adium.../ adium
$ cd adium
$ svn status

It should work as expected. I haven't tried this, but now that
you mention it, I will try it at some point.
