Even better! Looking around for any other evidence of the old behaviour,
I see that (struct svn_wc_entry_t).checksum is currently documented as:

  /** base64-encoded checksum for the untranslated text base file,
   * can be @c NULL for backwards compatibility.
   */
  const char *checksum;

(in include/svn_wc.h).

I presume that's wrong, but I don't know what the best way to describe
the checksum is - 'ASCII-encoded MD5 checksum'? Not very clear, imo.

Malcolm
