If a working copy requires cleanup, a 1.6 client that touches the
working copy will tell you so. A 1.7 client will refuse to upgrade it.

I don't think Daniel is right here. Generally, you don't need to run
'svn cleanup' just because you cancel some SVN operation with Ctrl-C.
You need to run it after an svn client has crashed or for some other
reasons failed to clean up its locks or run pending changes from the
working copy's work queue.
