It's not a Python script, it's a compiled program (and is so for maximum
ease of delivery by packagers to platforms). The program assumes that
svn_fs_node_origin() will, upon *not* finding an origin in the index, answer
the question *and store the answer in the index*. This is not a guarantee
of the API, of course (because FSFS should promise no such thing). But
it'll be our dirty little secret.

At any rate, I think it will still work fine after this change.
