Thanks for the explanation. I wondered if that was what is happening but
guessed (wrongly) that expansion would happen at commit time. I'm
surprised that a web interface view is not necessarily the same as a
client view.

Presumably ViewVC (which we don't have set up for Subversion at the
moment) is a true client and would perform expansion?
