..and just to show you how bad this is, I go to
C:\repo\src\example\secret and do a "svn status", and I get just what I
would expect (only one file is modified in the entire secret subtree):
M Example.java
But then I do a "cd .." to move to C:\repo\src\example (the parent of
the secret subdirectory), and I get:
? secret
! .
I'm stuck; how can I fix this?
