Which would then mean that I need to reinstall 1.6, cleanup, and
go back to 1.7. Imagine that on a multiuser system where svn is
installed as RPM/simile.

How about setting a 'busy' flag while svn is executing, and calling
for the user to invoke 'svn cleanup' if it is still set on invocation?
Ok, too late for that.

Apart from a) the fact that under circumstances ^C does not work (in
seems to be caught but not handled everywhere in a timely fashion, and,
that being the case, how can svn really break the WC) and I need to
'^Z/kill -9 %' it (the server connect takes a little longer where I am
sometimes) and b) that svn sometimes explicitly asks to run 'svn clean'
which in exactly those cases failed to clean up.
