Subversion doesn't make .svn directories read-only. So something else must have
done that.

Since Subversion doesn't set the read-only bit on those directories, and we do
say not to touch them, an "access denied" error should be quite sufficient IMHO.
I don't think we want to do is start putting even more Windows-specific WC
handling into the code.
