Ooh, Windows is slightly less stupid than I thought! ;-)

The problem, of course, is that stat() requires you to know the filename
ahead of time, so you could only use it for looking for files you
already knew were supposed to be there (like from .svn/entries). You
would still need to (in practice) use readdir() to find out about files
you didn't expect to find. And this would still show the "renamed" file
which you would have to know to ignore.
