Ah yes that's much easier.

Mmm! I made my head hurt trying to decide what the expected behaviour
would be with this :-) You're right, if we don't do any path mangling
then we've got a pretty good chance of doing something consistent.

I don't know about this, I think you're saying that 'add_lock_token'
would just be a call to 'svn_wc__node_get_lock_info' (followed by
whacking the info into the hash table). If we do that, we can remove
the existing 'svn_wc__node_get_lock_token', as it only has one other
caller, which could ignore the returned URL if necessary.

My question is, _should_ svn_wc__node_get_url be able to return the URL
of nodes which are deleted in WORKING? If it should, or if there's no
reason why it shouldn't, then add_lock_token can be implemented with
these two existing node routines, rather than creating a new one.

See whether you like the look of it this way, I think it's quite compact
and neat. If 'svn_wc__db_scan_base_repos' can fail to find the URL of a
node which is 'svn_wc__db_status_deleted', then this code isn't actually
_correct_ :-), but my understanding is that 'svn_wc__db_status_deleted'
means that it exists in BASE, so this is fine.
