It's an ordering thing. From the checkout editor's point of view, it
sees:

   add-directory foo
      add-file foo/bar
      close-file foo/bar
      add-file foo/baz
         file-prop name value // this a property on foo/baz
      close-file foo/baz
      dir-prop name value // this is a property on foo
   close-directory foo

Now, for files, we wait until the close-file to output the addition of
that file. Of course, at that point we know whether or not the file
had any properties come down with it.

For directories, we *could* wait until the close-directory to do the
printing, but the output would look a little silly:

   A foo/bar
   A foo/baz
   A foo // what? you added the directory AFTER adding files in it!?

I don't know what the right solution is, short of trying to change the
order in which the editor is driven, and frankly I don't care enough
about this admitted annoyance to try to rearrange ra_dav's checkout code.
