If you think we need to add a test for this bug maybe I could work one
up. Although at first glance this appears a bit daunting (to me).

I probably not would have been able to write the initial patch without
it. Once I had all the pre-requisite build tools installed in Ubuntu,
all I had to do was type "make" and watch it go to town. It was
amazing. The only thing that kind of tripped me up was that I am using
Ubuntu 10.04, which uses svn 1.6 to checkout the working copy of svn.
So at the end, when it does a svnversion I got some strange error
about my working copy being too old. But after googling I convinced
myself I could ignore this error. So yes, thank for that Makefile,
it's very useful in lowering the barrier to contributing.
Best regards,
