Subversion can't have all the information it needs to recover from
this -- or at least, sometimes it won't have all the information.
That's because all the information Subversion has about a working copy
resides in the .svn/ areas. If those are corrupt, then by definition
Subversion can't trust them, so it can't use that information. All it
can do is be very sensitive about detecting corruption, so that it
never mistakenly uses bad information.
