If we can provide the information cheaply, I see no reason not to let
the APIs provide it. As some of these APIs are already revved for 1.7,
we might as well add the new information to them now.

And all of this is necessary just so svnsync can /report/ which of the
two fixes it made, right? If so, we might move on with teaching svnsync
to fix newlines too, and add the "Report back how many properties had
their newlines changed" functionality separately. (easier to review,
and I don't think "512 properties were re-newlined" is /that/ useful to
know for most people)

What's happening in this file is essentially "Add the parameters to
<this> public API, punch them through everything, and finally in
translate_newline() make use of them". Could you add something
(a paragraph?) to the log message that makes that clear?

Or, another option is two have two subst.c entries in the log message
--- one for the 'punching through' and one for the interesting changes
--- though we have less precedent for that.

I'll leave it to you to find a way to make the overall picture clear :)

Please make the old docstring only describe the differences from the new
version of the function, and delete the rest of the docstring here.
Follow the examples in the other header files.

You changed 'language encoding' to 'character encoding'.

Can you switch this function to the two-pools paradigm
(result_pool/scratch_pool) while here? There are examples in
libsvn_wc/wc_db.h (and elsewhere).

It already uses scratch_pool internally.

Right now, this if() will be done every time translate_newline() is
called. Could you rework the logic to check it fewer times?

e.g., to only check it once per translation_baton if possible, or to
skip checking it if it had been set already, or if REPAIR is false and
a newline had been seen already, etc. (These are just ideas, you don't
have to implement all of them!)

Stefan2 indicates that the subst() code is a rather expensive part of
'checkout' and 'export', so doing the check once-per-file (instead of
once-per-line) will be nice. (However, I realize that right now you
only expose translated_eol for the svn_string_t API.)

Please move the above wrapper to deprecated.c.

Not related to your patch, but the above if/else block calls the UTF-8
translation routines on value->data. Since this is specifically the
translate_string() API (and there is a separate translate_cstring()
API), I think either we should fix this (the whole reason svn_string_t
exists is to allow embedded NULs) or at least document this limitation
in the API docs.

Lots of plumbing, but looks good :-)
