(to ease one's reading, commands are ls, copy and move top directory)

Haven't seen them in practice. It seemed possible with svn import: if there were
no branches at start, and then someone did svn mv . trunk. But it
turns out that my
svn client doesn't allow such move. So more like a least surprise purpose.

I think now that this commit should go separately if at all.
Especially considering
my other activity on fast-import (and thus possible merge conflicts) that isn't
strictly necessary for vcs-svn and friends.

And the same for 3bba32e9^ "fast-import: be saner with temporary trees", which
is only needed for 3bba32e9.
