Re: Hotcopy corrupt?

Since nobody has replied, I poked around and found in:

<http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/libsvn_fs_fs/structure>

These mentions:

  txn-current File containing the next transaction key
...
  write-lock Empty file, locked to serialise writers
  txn-current-lock Empty file, locked to serialise 'txn-current'

...

From subsequent descriptions, these files are critical for proper
internal locking.

So, there are only two possibilities:

A. Hotcopy is defective in not keeping these files.

-or-

B. SVN is uselessly littering the repo with files that are not
    needed (which must mean they are created as needed).

Which is it?
