Hi, André. This isn't a full review, and anyway in general these
changes look good to me!

But I'd like to request doc strings on new functions -- for example,
in psvn.el_svn1.7-dotsvn.diff:

There are two new helper functions here. If each had a doc string, then
the reader would understand why they exist. It's particularly necessary
here because `my-file-exists-p' is just a pass-through to
`my-file-directory-p', so a reader might wonder what `my-file-exists-p'
is for -- especially since its parameter is named "dir" :-).

I don't quite understand the code in `my-file-directory-p'. Are you
positive its correct? The names of the variables "dir1" and "dir2"
don't explain much -- it's not clear that they're always directories.

The reason I am skeptical about the code is this:

  (file-name-directory "/home/kfogel/some-dir/")
     ==> "/home/kfogel/some-dir/"

  (file-name-directory "/home/kfogel/some-dir")
     ==> "/home/kfogel/"

Note that when I tested the above, "some-dir" did not exist!

So I'm unsure about the logic in `my-file-directory-p', and I'm unsure
whether `my-file-exists-p' does what its name implies.

By the way, in the former, shouldn't it use `string='? As in:

  (if (string= dir1 dir2)
    ...)

I haven't reviewed the other patches, but I spent some effort extracting
them from the mail archives, so I'm going to include them below to have
easier access to them later if I end up reviewing them :-).

Best,
-Karl
