Bah! If we go back to the original problem, namely whether to
preserve backwards compatibility for entries files created before
early 2003. Earlier, I thought these were going to be auto-upgraded
to use hex checksums instead of base64 ditto. Unfortunately, this is
not the case because even if the entries file is rewritten, the
contents of the checksum attribute is preserved asis.
I guess I'll just check the length of the checksum entry field in svn
_wc_transmit_textdeltas2 and punt if it is not the expected length of
a hex checksum.
Thoughts, anyone?
