Ahh, linear on the number of subdirectories in the working copy
because it has to process the .svn subdirectory of each.
Does the amount of time it takes to process each .svn subdirectory
depend on the number of files in its corresponding directory? If so,
I suppose it will turn out to be linear on the number of files instead
of on the number of directories (so placing all files in the root
wouldn't really help things).
Hmm.
Alejo.
