     Oh, good.  Glad to know that.

     I don't have subversion installed and have never used it, so I think
I'll wait for the next snapshot.  Will "info" still be the log level needed
to get the information you and Nick want?  It's awfully verbose, so if the
new logging stuff you've added is tied to the message about an out-of-date
directory, could it maybe be issued at the "notice" level?
