Triggered by Ed's reaction: we do have atomicity in our working copy:
you create a log file with commands, flush that to disc and have the
log runner execute it. That way, we ensure the working copy is in a
known state after completing log execution. If log execution fails
half way, it's restartable with 'svn cleanup'.

If you want a series of operations to be 'atomic', you should use logs
to ensure it. I think this is the typical case where log-use is
preferred to mainain working copy consistency.

Erik.
