Hmm, interesting problem.  I guess I didn't consider that someone
would collect Subversion data but not filesystem data.  I should
probably make the collect file/collect directory configuration
optional or only validate it some of the time (like you suggest).

For the time being, you have a work around, so this is annoying but
not urgent.  Let me give it some thought, and I'll try to come up with
a sensible fix.

Thanks,

KEN
