Is there any way to find out what command is trying to be run?
Does that even matter?

Doh! I think I know what happened. I did a 'make config' within the
wc. I think this actually does:
        
        cd include
        rm -rf asm
        ln -s asm-i386 asm

Which means that if include/asm began life as a directory with it's
own .svn tree, and it's now a symlink, things could get very wonky
indeed. Hmmm, I'll go verify that this is what happened.

True, but svn stat performance on the linux kernel tree is *very*
slow and find is a lot faster :)

I'll try that.
