1) This functionality should go into APR, but in the meantime, fixing the
directory creation on Windows should be simple. Could somebody please post a
1.0.1 issue with my name on it?

2) "svn mv" shouldn'd have to copy files around if it's only renaming a
directory. It should just rename the dir and update the entries files.

3) We need a new libsvn_wc.

4) So what else is new...
