Hi Philip,

Thanks for your feedback.

No, I'm afraid I don't have the working copy anymore, so there's no
way to be sure.

I should have been more careful, but when I saw that test failing, I
just couldn't believe it, because I had successfully run the entire
test suite on the 1.7.x branch just before that. So I decided to rerun
the depth_tests, just to make sure it failed. Which wasn't very smart,
because then the test succeeded, and the broken working copy was gone
:-(.

Anyway, it may be a reasonable hypothesis. I'm not sure if it will
ever happen again on my system. If this is really the cause, does that
mean that it's a problem for Subversion, or that it's more of a
test-suite problem (that it should sleep some time to make sure the
timestamps differ, or something like that)?
