Can you make a patch?
FWIW I wanted this fix in 1.6.0 to save people the nuisance but it
did not make it because the backport did not get enough votes by
other devs for 1.6.0.
Anyway, I'd still recommend you stop using this script now. The script
will most likely be phased out with 1.7 anyway, because of the working
copy library rewrite. It is quite unlikely that we'll get a script that
can up- and downgrade between 1.6 and 1.7 working copy formats.
