I'm confused.  I thought that SVN didn't run all commands relative to the root to support maciej's fancy -d thing.

scm.py always interprets file paths relative to the root of the working copy.  The -d option restricts the scope of our "stat" commands to restrict which parts of the working copy we operate upon.

Letting other python hackers see this go by, to hopefully end any confusion here.
