I don't think so: TSVN passes the correct paths, but if the SQLite db is
corrupt, an 'svn status' call could return an incorrect path, and then
when TSVN passes that path on you would get such an assertion.
Or it would also happen if the correct path is passed from TSVN, but
then when doing the cleanup of all subfiles/folders, those are gathered
wrong because of the corrupt db.
