We were talking about working copies, not repositories.

Yes. It's that easy to fix the script. But we had a fix for
the client already which was originally scheduled for 1.6.0,
so no one was bothered enough to fix the script.
Now that 1.6.0 was released without the client-side fix because some
developers (not me) didn't care enough about the issue, there is no
fix at all for this problem in 1.6.0, so people who use the script
with 1.6.0 have a problem.
1.6.1 will have the fix.

By all means, don't feel ashamed and please go ahead and try to
fix the script if you can! If you post a fix to this list it will
help all others who want to use the script with 1.6.0.
