Observations:
* The recursive report of missing items is really unhelpful. Once svn
said that "notes" is missing, saying that "notes/foo" is missing too
just takes up precious screen real estate. (Anybody remember the
recursively directory-changelist notifications we axed?)
* Interestingly, some children in the missing tree are reported by '~',
i.e., are obstructed (!).
* Something manages to hit a tree conflict at 'svn checkout' time.

P.S. Unfortunately, the infra repository is not public. Some committers
have access to it. If you don't have that access and you want to look
into that, let me/us know please.
