It would of course be interesting to know how the working copy could
have ended up being corrupt. Any idea how it got corrupted, Dan?
Was there anything that could have corrupted the working copy database
($wc/.svn/wc.db) from outside perhaps? Is the working copy located on
a network drive? Also useful to know: are you mixing different types
of svn clients working on the same working copy (for instance, do you
also access this same working copy with SVNKit)?
