Log message looks good. I wouldn't exactly call this a "fix",
though. It's an enhancement, not a bug. :-)

I might word this differently, perhaps something like "if not NULL,
the details of existing repository lock".

I can see that you imagine

    svn_dirent2_t == svn_dirent_t + svn_lock_t

and therefore

    svn_dirent2_t - svn_lock_t = svn_dirent_t

...but most people reading the code will have no idea about these
formulas and categorizations. It's not obvious that if you subtract
"only a directory entry" from a dirent2_t that a lock_t is left
behind: people think of the lock_t as part of the dirent, not some
extra thing.

So the simpler wording is just:

   "Like a @c svn_dirent2_t, but without the @c svn_lock_t field."

Spurious whitespace change here?

Can you use variables here whose names are less similar? I actually
had to squint for a minute, before realizing that the two hash
indices had different names! Or, better yet, maybe the variables
names could be more descriptive.

Why are you deliberately ignoring the error here?

Yikes! This is a hash! Instead of looping through the hash keys,
perhaps you should be looking up things using apr_hash_get() instead??

(By the way, strcasecmp is incorrect anyway... you're comparing
repository paths with repository paths, and repository paths are
always case-sensitive.)

So let me step back a second, and suggest we take a slightly
different route here. kfogel, lundblad and I had a conversation, and
we think that this patch puts us in a bad "halfway" place. This
patch deprecates svn_dirent_t, but not fully. It's still being used
in other places. We think that we should either do it all the way,
or not do it.

Option 1: *Fully* deprecate svn_dirent_t. That means stop using it
everywhere. It means having to rev all the public libsvn_client and
libsvn_ra APIs that make use of it. Quite a lot of work.

Option 2: Just don't bother to create svn_dirent2_t. Instead, just
rev svn_client_ls() could return a new "svn_client_dirent_t"
structure which contains the lock_t. (Or return the hash of locks to
the caller.)

We need to discuss these options, because there are problems with both.

Alexander: many apologies for bouncing the strategy of your patch
back and forth. You are a man of infinite patience. :-) Let's
discuss a bit more before you write another iteration of this patch.
