No I'm not, it's just that I get confused when I have to remember
which things work and which things don't :-)

Yes, I've worked that out now. I raised issue 1482 on the original
problem, but I've since added to it with more thoughts that are
essentially the same as the problem you illustrated. I guess the
issue could be closed on the grounds that "that is the way Subversion
works", or we could leave it open as a pointer to a future
enhancement.
