Note that we already have a svn_wc__adm_retrieve_internal2() API which
accepts an wc_db and abspath, and just fetches the baton from the db's
set of cached batons. Perhaps this might be of some use. One catch
here is that the *type* of the baton needs to be correct. In other
words, we should return a cached read baton, when the caller asks for
a read/write baton. (I tried making *all* batons read/write at one
point, but that introduces problems of it's own, believe it or not.)
What *I* want to see, and I don't know if we have it or not, is
something which I could call to "go get me an access baton for PATH,
whether you fetch the cached one, or whether you open a new one, I
don't care." Maybe we have that already, or maybe it's just a pipe
dream.
