I have another patch for 749; it passes the access baton to
svn_wc__entry_modify. It touches quite a lot of functions as you can
imagine :-) It passes the regression tests, and has done so for a few
days now, but other things keep breaking. The issue 838 patch broke
it, and to a lesser degree the recent URL keyword patch. My patch also
uncoverered some path canonicalization bugs that I have since fixed.
The patch is just about ready to go, I'm just looking at a final
revert problem (svn_wc_revert is not nice, it's nearly as bad as
svn_wc_add). It's not a case covered by the regression tests.
If you wait until this patch gets applied you may well find caching
much easier.
