File permissions are incorrect after directory copy in 1.7

In Subversion 1.7.5:

If a directory containing svn:needs-lock files is copied and
committed, the needs-lock files are left writeable.

The writeable state can be resolved by running 'svn revert' on
the files, even though the status indicates there is nothing to
revert.

Recipe and run-through results below.

Thanks,

fergus

Recipe:

cd /tmp
svnadmin create repos
svn co file:///tmp/repos/ copy_test
cd copy_test
svn mkdir foo
touch foo/bar.txt
svn add foo/bar.txt
svn propset svn:needs-lock 1 foo/bar.txt
svn commit -m 'Added'
svn copy foo goo
svn commit -m 'Copied'
ls -l goo # goo/bar.txt is writeable
svn st -u -v goo # goo/bar.txt has no status
svn revert goo/bar.txt # goo/bar.txt is reverted
ls -l goo # goo/bar.txt is now read-only
