What the old version is, is not relevant. (See other reply: Before 1.7 we
can never be sure if we have all the information in the working copy or not)

The question is more: Is this problem relevant enough to support this
scenario on 'svn upgrade'.

For my test suite it isn't... But we have millions of Subversion users that
will upgrade over the next few years. Some of those will have the same
problem.

And if one of those users doesn't manage its own installed applications
(Read: typical corporate environment), then the only thing a user could do
is delete all relevant working copies and perform a new checkout.
