Upon thinking more on this, I tend to agree. svn_wc__entry_modify2()
should still ensure it has a write lock on the directory in question
before performing the write (and error out otherwise).

This would seem to indicate to me that wc_db should be managing the
locks. I don't think or know if this is a long-term solution, since I
don't think we've full thought out the locking paradigm in the wc-ng
world. However, in the interim, we could add a temporary API inside
wc-ng which manages write-locks, and move that functionality out of
the access baton.

Or is this just crazy talk?
