Ok, I can see us repairing automagically at revert and commit then.
What about status? If it detects a bogus timestamp, can it at that
point take out a write lock and attempt to repair?

Failing the above, would an extra notice in the status output help?
'T' for bogus timestamp? This would then prompt the user to run
svn cleanup (while not requiring it). Ofcourse this could be unclear...
and given the new status output, potentially overkill.
