First question, have you tried 1.3.0-3?  I'm not saying it's
necessarily fixed, but I'd appreciate if you could try it.

Uh, I don't get it - if you're merging stuff into a working copy, why
*wouldn't* the working copy be read/write?

Or is this a case where the code seems to assume your working directory
*is* the working copy, but doesn't enforce this?

Thanks,
Peter
