Gaw, longwindedness. I never claimed that all error codes mean the
same thing -- I claimed that my patch worked where yours did not. I
furthermore could have claimed that my patch did not introduce any new
error-prone conditions than already existed in that function.

I totally agree that we should be more choosy about the error
conditions in that piece of code; it's likely that APR_ENOTDIR isn't
always the thing we get back because we have this neat concept of
being able to nest errors, which introduces the opportunity for the
top-most svn_error_t structure's apr_err member to change from what
may have been an original APR_ENOTDIR. I dunno what was going on
there, I just know that adding the extra check for the specific
apr_status_t made things that used to work, work no more. :-)

My goal with the patch was to help you get further along in your local
prime objective -- to get checksums recorded in the working copy --
not to help you foolproof libsvn_wc, dude. You can do the
foolproofing any way you please, so long as the final product works.
