Looking at this a little harder, I see that svn_wc__atts_to_entry() is
also used for parsing the logs produced by svn_wc__loggy_entry_modify(),
and so changelist, keep-local, and depth should probably all be included
in both.

However, I see that none of them are in svn_wc__loggy_entry_modify(),
which makes me wonder how they're being updated anyway.

I _think_ that 'depth' should be added back as an attribute, parsed in
svn_wc__atts_to_entry(), _not_ added to write_xml_entry(), and somehow
modified via svn_wc__loggy_entry_modify(). Changelist and keep-local
also should be modified via svn_wc__loggy_entry_modify().

Can someone who has a better idea how libsvn_wc works confirm whether
I'm talking rubbish or not?

Regards,
Malcolm
