Here's a patch to fix this svn completion problem reported back in
January [workers #26367].. things were even worse than it appeared
because the key used for caching 'svn status' output for a directory
was the relative directory path, which would usually be '.' so if you
cd'd around it would have exhibited worse problems.  It's now caching
based on the directory device and inode, and using the mtime of the
.svn/entries file to invalidate a cached entry.
