 * This is useful for converting a hash into a sorted

 * orders children in subdirectories directly after their parents. This allows
 * using the given ordering for a depth first walk, but at a performance
 * penalty. Code that doesn't need this special behavior for children, e.g. when
 * sorting files at a single directory level should use
 * svn_sort_compare_items_lexically() instead.
