The problem is that a needs-lock file should not be writeable without
being locked.

Note that the behaviour is different when the file is copied:

/tmp/copy_test/foo> svn cp bar.txt baz.txt
A baz.txt

/tmp/copy_test/foo> ls -l
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 fergus fergus 0 2012-05-28 22:44 bar.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 fergus fergus 0 2012-05-28 22:45 baz.txt

/tmp/copy_test/foo> svn commit -m 'Copied'
Adding baz.txt

Committed revision 2.
nexus:/tmp/copy_test/foo> ls -l
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 fergus fergus 0 2012-05-28 22:44 bar.txt
-r--r--r-- 1 fergus fergus 0 2012-05-28 22:45 baz.txt

This is the correct behaviour - the new file is writeable after the
copy, but is made read-only by the commit.

Revert does the right thing by making the file read-only but that
should have been done by the commit, as in the file case above.

Thanks,
