I spend some time creating a test framework for comparing behavior, but what
I found was a complete different issue.

In Subversion 1.6 status is reported as text_status and property_status,
while Subversion 1.7 reports status as node_status, text_status and
property_status.

The compatibility code in libsvn_client and libsvn_wc automatically
transforms the more complete status back to the old format (where node
status overwrites text status) while the code in javahl just ignores
node_status.
