I found the original code in r6748:
+ (kind == svn_node_file) ?
+ SVN_WC__ENTRIES_ATTR_FILE_STR :
+ SVN_WC__ENTRIES_ATTR_DIR_STR,

So it looks like it was just not optimised when the operands were later
turned into "svn_node_file" and "svn_node_dir".

That block is gone now.

I have done that and removed the question-comments in r34573.
