No, I don't know the details.
What I do know was that this used to be an implementation detail in
libsvn_wc, but libsvn_wc now reports node, text and property status
separately.
And as part of that change libsvn_wc stopped dropping information (by
overwriting the status value) that might be useful to other clients.
The overwriting then moved to the wrapper functions. But svn switched to the
newer apis.
