That seems correct to me. Someone who worked with wc-replacements maybe
could double-check.

Well, you're right. *We* put it first in our code. I think that's good
since one could stop parsing the entries file after having read this_dir
if that is all that's wanted (I thinking of this like a status operation
of depth 0 which some GUI clients have shown interest in). But that's
just an optimization opportunity. Our code will not break if this_dir
isn't first.

It is better after your tweak.

Nope. That would be strange; at least not so useful. Look at
take_from_entry in libsvn_wc/entries.c. That's where the "inheritance"
takes place.

They are optional a) because committed-rev is and b) because date and
author may not be available for all revisions.

Thanks again for looking this over and fixing stuff for me,
