[TSVN] Nested WC feature

From: Simon Large <slarge_at_slarge.plus.com>

Hi folks,

Whilst checking out how nested WCs work I discovered a feature, using
build 3402.

Create a new folder inside an unmodified WC.
Checkout a small project into this new folder.
Modify a file in the new folder.

Now the new folder behaves as a normal WC, and shows a modified icon.
The new folder is not a child of the containing WC, so if you try to
commit the parent folder TSVN shows you a message that there is nothing
to commit. Check for modifications confirms this. So far, correct.

The containing WC shows a modified icon, even though check for
modifications shows there are no mods. Is this what we expect to happen?

In one way it is good because it alerts you to the fact that there are
uncommitted changes in the nested WC.

In another way it is bad because the behaviour is inconsistent.

What do you think?

Simon
