Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like it fixes the way 'svn info'
handles the incorrect node status. I think we have to fix the code at
the point where this incosistency is first introduced. I agree that this
would fix the segfault, but are we overlooking a more serious problem
with the way 'svn cp'handles the server-excluded nodes? I haven't
grokked the relevant code yet, and so I'm not in a position to comment
on specifics.
