**** BIG DISCLAIMER ****
wc-ng is still a bit of a moving target, even on trunk, so don't use
it on valuable data. The working copy format is liable to change
between now and the 1.7 release, and there may not be an upgrade path
from the current (transient) format to the final one. That being
said, please test and help us improve the feature before the release.
