But those are not independent modules (since they share a common parent
directory other than root). If you loaded them as

/A/trunk/a
/B/trunk/b

there would be no conflict. Clearly, the date-revision mapper should not make
the assumtion that the revision number is anything except an artifact or the
storage schema (i.e. has no direct relationship to commit date). At the very
least, when performing date queries, the node date should be compared as the
revision tree is walked at all points, and not just when locating the initial node.
