Hm ... an unfortunate side-effect of this change is that readers of
entry structures that live outside of the WC library now may only
examine the first-class citizen members of those structures.

For example, I have some code in libsvn_client now (in-progress) that
wants to know if an entry has copyfrom history. It *used* to get the
SVN_WC_ENTRY_ATTR_COPYFROM_URL item from the entry's hash (since
copyfrom_url is not a first-class entry citizen) ... but now that
#define'd hash key is hidden inside the WC library.

Two solutions:

1. (easy solution) Revert Greg's change.

2. (much more involved solution) Promote all entry members to
    first-class citizens, and in doing so, might I recommend losing
    the "attributes" hash that lives in the entry, too? That hash is
    a transient state between disk and structure, and need not be
    toted around everywhere we go. The day someone actually has
    custom entry things to track, a hash for ONLY those custom items
    can be re-added.
