Oh, so this means that we've already dropped part of this support
earlier. Well, then my recent commit didn't actually make things worse.

Another workaround should be to just remove the ckecksum attribute
from the entries file, because that's optional.

I'll not do anything about my commit in svn_wc_transmit_text_deltas2
until we decide to reintroduce the compat hack, but since this seems
like more work, I don't think it is worht it. I agree with Zhakov, it
starts to be time to drop pre-1.0 compatibility hacks.

Thanks,
