What the...??

I can confirm this too. When I run an OSX 'ktrace' on

   $ svn status subversion/libsvn_fs_base/bdb/dbt.c

Then I only see the bdb/.svn/entries file being opened.

But when I run

   $ svn status README

...I see every .svn/entries the entire tree being opened.

Developer-folk, is this expected?
