FWIW, I agree. I don't think William is particularly bothered about how
this situation manifests itself, as long as it can be reliably identified.

We should also check that it's consistent across (ra_svn/ra_local, ra_dav) x
(BDB, FSFS). svnserve and ra_local both seem to call svn_repos_stat() to do
the real work, so they should behave the same. I couldn't figure out exactly
what mod_dav_svn was doing, nor exactly how the filesystems would respond.

Is there an easy way to test the current behaviour across the different
combinations?

Malcolm
