I'm not Jon but my opinion is that we need a bug fix, not a work-around,
and that Peter's patch
<http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2010-02/0431.shtml> is the sort of fix
we need. (I haven't reviewed it, just glanced over it.)
Let's check I understood the problem correctly: User has 1.6 client and
1.6 WCs, no 1.7 stuff involved at all. User's system has a WC rooted at
the file system root: '/.svn' exists and is not readable by this user.
In some normal operations that used to work with svn 1.6.x, svn 1.6.9
tries to look for a file '/.svn/wc.db' and throws an error because it's
denied access to that directory.
