Easy enough to test. Sure enough, 'svn export PATH@REV' defaults to
-rWORKING even when a peg rev is specified. That surprised me. 'svn
export URL@REV' is different, -r defaults to the peg rev.

Ahh, much better syntax - I thought about suggesting this before, but I
wasn't sure if it was common to all POSIX shells. But it is, I just
checked.

No need for a \ continuation character, both because of the `` and
because of the trailing |. But that's a minor matter. (: And
speaking of minor matters - also speaking about POSIX shell features -
I like $() better than ``. I find it more readable, and you can nest
$().

Insufficient quoting - if `dirname "$listItem"` has spaces in it, mkdir
gets multiple arguments. "`dirname "$listItem"`" works, though as I
said earlier I prefer "$(dirname "$listItem")".
