I made a mistake here. 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e' is the
checksum of the empty string:

   $ echo -n | md5sum
   d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e -

but that's not the checksum that has special handling in Subversion.
The zero checksum is the checksum with special handling, it is created
by svn_checksum_create and svn_checksum_clear, it has a digest that is
all zeros, and it matches any other checksum of the same kind.
