Right. I never investigated the reasons, but I had 'svn' fail a few times a
year or two ago when it encountered old-style checksums for some of the files
in my Subversion source WC which has existed since way before v1.0. The only
operation I remember failing was "revert". I got rid of the old checksums by
updating the individual file to r0 and then updating normally, so there is an
easy work-around.
