Wow! That's great news, I'm seing way to much wierd WC "corruption"
occuring after our cvs->svn conversion. Sounds like this might solve
a few problems.

As a matter of fact, I'd love to see this (or any WC "corruption" fixes)
as soon as possible if that isn't too much to ask for?
May we see it in 1.0.2?

Great work!
