I made the entry based intermediate function as a first step. To find out
what that operation should do to handle the strange cases and to allow
implementing the wc-db version in incremental steps.

This allows handling the easy cases the new way before switching the hard
cases. (Small steps towards the final solution)

In WC-1.0 we left old administrative data in a lot of code paths... (not
just a few :( ) and in most cases we fix this on adding.
(Talk about broken behavior...)

In the final version of WC-NG we don't need most of these operations any
more.
* Properties: In DB only. Handled directly. No loggy operation necessary
* Pristines: Not associated with a single file. No need to remove it in the
general case. (Maybe schedule a cleanup check as wq item?)

Where the old code 'happens to work' in the intermediate state I wouldn't
try to solve it cleanly for the period until we have the pristines working.
(All that work will have to go to /dev/null before 1.7)
