I am guessing that the difference has to do with whether or not we make
a change to the parent entries file? We shouldn't have to anyway should
we? I thought that the entry in the parent dir just contained the name,
and all the info was in the THIS_DIR entry within the child dir.
If we do, what do we do in the case of 'svn update foo/bar
../../baz' What do we take as the place the editor is rooted for the
second case?

Okay, sounds good.
