Great! :-)

There are some cases in which there are still no MD5s in the entries
file even though you'd expect them to be. To test this, I put an
abort() in write_entries(). The test suite started failing big time.
I'd like to address this, but I'm working on perf tuning first,
because it fits the 'libsvn_wc performance release 1.4' so well.
Depending on how long it takes for 1.4 to be released, I may get
another wc-format bump going to require md5s.

bye,

Erik.
