Alright, well, here's all the info I can provide (hoping it's okay to post
here, since it's a problem affecting both subclipse & subversion):::

NOTES: I created a copy of just my /lib/ dir, with the externals dir & a
couple of other files, as a new branch.

[SVN doesn't understand the intermediate directory, even though the ".svn" dir
exists... but the "format" file in that dir seems funny:]
