Thanks alot David for taking on this problem. I moved the BR #57477 back to 
Konqueror, because 1) well its a Konqueror bug ;-) and 2) I'm not sure if you 
already did all the commits needed to fix this bug. Please close it when you 
are done.

I guess, you are right. The performance hit for normal directories probably 
outweighs the advantages of an inode/cvs-directory mimetype. Especially since 
then you also would have to add an inode/svn-directory mimetype.  But the 
idea was neat. :-)
