Unfortunately, you are currently wrong with your assumption. The
Subversion team is well aware of the problem, but I think it'll take
until 1.3 or 1.4 for them to solve it. It's complicated.
The explanation has been given on this list many times but I don't
know it by heart yet so can't recite it for you. :-P I kinda thought
it would be a FAQ by now but I can't see it in the FAQ... am I
overlooking it or is it really not there?
