Yes, but that shouldn't be a problem. If the user deletes that
directory from inside his editor, we'll just have to bomb out. :)

strange...).

Maybe I'll make one, but I'd rather see my bugfix patch to
svn_repos_create committed first. (Maybe it already is, the server
seems to be down, so I can't check...)
