I think you're right that my code would only handle a verbatim copy.  I
made a few changes and I think I have something that is more generally
useful.  Using a newer version of subversion isn't practical for me, as
this is a work situation where I don't have control of the workstations.

One criticism of the patch: the trees_match function probably needs to
be re-written.  My SVN::Perl-foo is weak.
