(This thread seems to be mysteriously missing from the tigris mailing
list archives, and contactor.se won't give me message IDs, and I
deleted Ben's message from my inbox, so this message isn't properly
threaded. Mmm, infrastructure.)

How does the live prop get from the ra layer to the wc entries file if
not through the RA interface? Not that it matters. Consider a
wc-less GUI application which navigates a remote repository and uses
get_log.

It may be that the repository repository path should simply be
returned as part of the get_log result, if that's the only reason we
can think of for needing it.
