As a general sentiment, the code is often inconsistent here. Some
functions let you pass the top-level ADM access baton, and a path.
Some make you pass the individual item's baton, and they simply ask
that baton for the path it represents.

And what functions are those?

svn_wc_walk_entries() has room to grow -- it makes no claim to
completeness. If you think a new "mode" for skipping added things, so
be it.

Good plan.
