IMO, it is *not* an obvious fix. In order to verify its correctness, I
would have to get a WC into a tree-conflicted state and then run 'svn
status' to verify the output.

Obvious fixes are typos, docstring updates, whitespace changes, or
other tweaks that don't affect the code or its output.

Look through the logs for other cases of "obvious fixes". They are
quite a bit different.
