epg brought this up, since we first discovered this bug while doing a
large checkout. :-)
I think what you say above is a good argument for 'svn checkout' to
explicitly *not* request that the server send copyfrom args, and
instead let the server behave the old way (just always send fulltexts
to the client). 'svn update', on the other hand, can continue to
request copyfrom args.
