Haven't looked at the patch, but I've got a couple of meta questions/
comments.

If we do introduce a new (temporary) entries reading API, it should be
private, live in include/private/svn_wc_private.h, and probably be
named svn_wc__entries_read(). Such an API definitely won't see the
light of a public release, so there's no need to put it in the public
API file (from which it will disappear post haste).

That being said, we've already got svn_wc__node_get_children(), which
can be used to fetch the absolute paths of a node's children. These
absolute paths can then be used to get individual entries (the current
replacement path) or directly fetch desired information (using APIs
which haven't yet been written).

I think that svn_wc__node_get_children() should probably be used in
favor of svn_wc_entries_read(), but I could be wrong. What do you
think?
