with subversion-1.7

> [patch to cope with different location of 1.7's .svn]
This patch will not work if the root of the checkout is not the root of
the source tree. For example, it is possible to check out all of "base"
using --depth=immediates, then expand the interesting parts such as head
and stable/8 using svn update --set-depth=infinity. In that case, the
path will be ${SYSDIR}/../../.svn (for head) or ${SYSDIR}/../../../.svn
(for a stable branch); there may be more levels for a user branch.
Alternatively, just sys could have been checked out, so ${SYSDIR}/.svn
remains the correct path.
With subversion-1.7, one checkout with multiple branches will use less
disk space than one checkout per branch.
