I would side with that... doesnt seem to break the natural design of the

I beg to differ. lock is now as vital an info as the author or revision
no.( two other entities of the svn_dirent_t struct). We could compare it
with the rwx permissions of a normal unix file. I would suggest
incorporating lock info in the svn_dirent_t structure and always
returning the lock info from the server as if its just one more
attribute of the file/dir (which it is!)
I would like to place another reasoning here. Assuming, theres a new
attribute in the future - lets say compressed ( meaning the file is
stored in compressed format ... just an example ), using a
svn_ra_get_compression_info() for each dirent would simply shatter the
natural design of things. such parameters are attributes of each dirent
and IMHO should be filled in by get_dir_contents/svn_ra_get_dir (not
sure which one would be apt) by the server.
