Re: Literals in wc SQLite queries

As I said on IRC, happy to look into this, my main question is how
transform_sql.py would know what files to scan for the MAP_DELETED <->
'base-deleted' mappings.

Do we want a header file with a well-known name
(subversion/include/private/)? Maybe in the same directory as the
source .sql file? Maybe the .sql file should have a directive pointing
to the map file?

Among these I prefer the second one, i.e.,
subversion/libsvn_wc/wc-queries.sql -> subversion/libsvn_wc/token-maps.h

Philip - perhaps you can move the relevant definitions to that header?
Then I'll follow up with a transform_sql.py patch.
