I'm a little concerned about this. svn_client_copy depends on
having these "tempfiles" (in fact, future prop- and text- bases)
returned so it can remove them. This is to avoid this:

1. edit foo.c
2. svn cp . $URL/snapshot (leaving behind future base)
3. edit foo.c again
4. svn ci (installs the base from 2)

This, of course, leaves you with a corrupt base file. I know
about this because gvn (which effectively does svn cp . $URL to
snapshot a changebranch) was *not* removing the future base for a
long time. It took me a long time to figure out why we some
times ended up with corrupt text-bases.

Anyway, I still haven't tested prop-bases. As far as I can tell,
we'll have the exact same problem with them after this change.
Looking at client/commit_util.c:do_item_commit and
copy.c:wc_to_repos_copy, this seems to be the case: the future
prop base is saved in the tempfiles hash by the former, and the
latter removes all files in the hash.
