The cause is pretty straightforward, and is (I think) directly the
result of our overloading our node-ids with the responsibility of
reporting ancestry as well as just being UIDs. I won't go into the
algorithm now (you can find it in various comments in the libsvn_fs/
code...in fact, read 'structure' in that directory for a grand
overview of the filesystem), but Tutt's new schema should make all the
icky go away.
