Yeah (switching topics slightly), this is a general problem. For
Emacs users, we can eventually solve it when svn<->emacs interaction
code gets into the emacs dist, the way CVS code has. (Ever notice how
CVS working dirs don't have ~ backups for versioned files, for
example?)

In the meantime, we could put some stuff in svn-dev.el to prevent it,
shouldn't be too hard. Just need to set `backup-inhibited' or
something; check out the "backup-*" vars and functions in Emacs.
