Okay. Suppose Ev2 is released in 1.9 and svn:special=blockdev in 1.10.
An app is built against libsvn_fs-1.9 and ran with libsvn_fs-1.10. The
app calls svn_editor_add_file(svn:special='*', contents="blockdev ...").
At what point does this call get converted to svn_editor_add_blockdev()?
You want to allow written-against-1.9 clients to call add_file() that
way, but you just said below that that add_file() call is forbidden to
written-against-1.10 clients. How do these requirements coexist?
