Magic! I like this design! APR knows the semantics, SVN behaviour is
controlled by what APR reports.
The flip side of the execute bit semantics is that no code should assume
that file-is-runnable == execute-bit-set. The semantics of runnable on
Mac and windows are far more interesting then this. (This may be an issue
for rapid SVN I doubt it is for CLI SVN). Open of a .doc file could run
the associated app for example.)
