I was planning on just wrapping svn_wc__adm_retrieve_internal2() and
feed it with the db of the wc_ctx. I thought that I could just get me
the existing baton. For my purpose (those darn wc_diff_callbacks) I know
what kind of lock was set by the caller. Hrm, I'm reading a course in design
pattern and that doesn't sound like louse coupling to me.

Can one path have multiple batons, i.e. one read baton and another write
baton? I thought that there would only be one?

I haven't found one.
