Someone in another thread mentioned doing fresh checkout, then copying
the 1.7 .svn directory over to the old workspace and then being able
to commit the outstanding changes. Is that a reasonable thing to try?

I think there is a bigger question regarding why there are so many
corrupt 1.6 workspaces around that nothing so far had noticed. Should
people be concerned about that even if they aren't upgrading yet?
How can you tell if a workspace is corrupt?
