Not reading Junio's mind, I think he meant that you were swapping the

I did not switch them everywhere.  The original patch to fix the race condition
required switching the arguments because I had to treat the svnwc path
differently than the gitwc path.

Nevertheless, does your change make things work with older
versions of SVN?  I'm running 1.4.x everywhere these days, but
I seem to recall the version of SVN on kernel.org was giving
Junio trouble with the tests.

Was it the "race condition" he was seeing, where the tests were failing because
of a difference in one second between the svn output and the git output?  If
so, that was fixed with the first patch.  I was able to reproduce the race
condition locally with svn-1.4.5 on my PowerBook G4.

I don't have an easy way to test with svn-1.3.
