It *will* have a new timestamp, by virtue of being copied back out
into the working. The issue here is that we should probably record
that new text-time in .svn/entries. If we don't, then a future
modified-check on the file might take longer.

Are we misunderstanding each other?

These are all being executed as log commands. If a crash occurs
between the copy and the toggle, the logfile still exists, and will be
re-run when the user does 'svn cleanup'.

But actually, your point *holds* in the first example -- in
svn_revert_file, which is *not* a loggy operation. I better fix that!

Yikes! I naively copied that function from other places in the same C
file, being used for the same purpose.

I better go fix them both! Thanks.

I wanted the function to return *three* states of the executable
property: on, off, or non-existent. They correspond to the actions of
"do a +x", "do a -x", or "do nothing".

I could have returned the actual property value, but I thought it was
simpler to either return NULL, or return an *allocated* TRUE or FALSE.

You don't think that's simpler for a caller to parse? I did. Simpler
than having a caller parse an svn_string_t value, I think.

Not like it matters much -- everyone calls the function
svn_wc__maybe_toggle_working_executable_bit anyway, which has a
"normal" interface. Under the hood, it's currently the sole caller of
the "weird" function.
