It seems unlikely to corrupt the repository, but it does create
working copies that are subtly broken (leading to errors later, etc)
in an essentially undetectable way. And it's now been reported
independently twice (or three times)? As I said on another thread,
I'd think that "bugs reported by multiple users (in fact, our partner
developers at AnkhSVN and TortoiseSVN)" would be *exactly* the sort of
thing release candidates are made to avoid...
