http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00410.html
(a patch, not really a bug)
I also reported one about use of shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer
and VC, but I don't see it right now.

I think it has potential, but it is not ready.

This item is listed twice.

According to the psvn maintainer it is due to sorting the entries
after svn exits.
Anyway the experiment is pretty easy. I will try to remember to do it.

This is not the same if a marked file changes from modified to unmodified.
In this case it will disappear from the listing.
IMO it is nicer UI for the entries to persist a bit.
