But even if it crashed, it *should* be okay, right? The WC would still show
items to commit, the user would try it, and then get a conflict. An 'update'
would then merge in the changes (already there!) and all would be happy.

The thing is, the client should be able to die (kill -9) at any point, and
thing should work except for a possible need to use 'svn cleanup'.

Maybe we can think of some way to test for killability in the client?
