I can create a patch for svn_io_dir_walk that will first stat the directory it
been passed. Then call the walk function, before reading directory entries. Then
while reading directory entries skip the "." in addition to "..". Effectively
promoting directory itself to be the first on the list.
I will try to make the patch as soon as I get home...

Vladimir Berezniker
