Ah, okay. That's where I was missing the connection. I didn't realize
that SVN was so... silly. Thanks!

Could there be perhaps an option to run bzr-svn in "slow" mode where
it'd do this check? It would suck for the first branch of a repository,
but for people who are migrating to Bazaar it would seem like a very low
cost over time.
