Yes, good point: adding 'iota' there could invalidate the test. The
bug may well have something to do with how the positional arguments,
peg revision, and operative revisions are resolved to an anchor/target
pair for the edit operation [in the sense of an svn_delta_editor_t drive]
in edge cases, such as when the target doesn't exist in one operative revision.
In fact, I wonder what would happen if the test were done in A/B/E. The
difference is that the working copy root does exist at r0, but A/B/E doesn't.
But as Julian said, we're entering the territory of diminishing returns, so
it's up to you whether to continue ironing this one out or move on to other
issues.
Cheers,
Daniel
