Description

This issue was originally reported by Hans Salvisberg on the dev list:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-01/0152.shtml

The issue is that he has a working copy on the root of his drive (linux) and
whenever he tries to commit changes in two more different folders, the commit
aborts. 

Repro:
svn checkout file:///path/to/repos /
svn mkdir /svn1
svn mkdir /svn2
svn ci /svn1 /svn2 -m "test"

The issue only exists on linux (all posix platforms presumably), not on Windows.

Although later mails in the thread mention this issue was fixed in trunk, in
fact it isn't.
