*shrug* We could put it elsewhere.

Right. So _if_ somebody had broken the "value is SVN_PROP_BOOLEAN_VALUE"
invariant, _and_ generated a diff that contains a 'old mode 0755\n new
mode 0755\n' sequence — which, although syntactically valid, wouldn't
be output by any diff program — then they will get a false positive
"Contradictory executability" hard error.

The place to handle broken invariants is at the entry point, which for
patches is parse-diff.c. Would make sense, then, for parse-diff.c to
normalize the 'old value' and 'new value' of svn_prop_is_boolean()
properties to SVN_PROP_BOOLEAN_VALUE, and for patch.c to canonicalize
the ACTUAL/WORKING property value to SVN_PROP_BOOLEAN_VALUE before
trying to apply the patch? (Example: if the property value in the
wc is "yes", and the patch says 'change the property value from "sí" to
unset', parse-diff.c will fold "yes" to "*", patch.c will fold "sí"
to "*", and the patch will apply successfully.)

It's just a merge artifact. I'd rather just initialize the newly-added
members and leave the non-initializing allocation so cc/valgrind can
catch bugs.

I'll initialize them to FALSE for now, to plug the uninitialized memory
access. I'm not sure we need to change that to TRUE; see discussion
under the patch_tests.py hunks, below.

The purpose of the warning is to alert us that there is a syntax we
aren't handling. That's why it's for maintainers only. The assumption
is that maintainers can switch to a release build if they run into this
warning unexpectedly.

I don't think we can convert this to a warning, can we? This API
doesn't have a way to report warnings to its caller.

You mean r1695384?

Personally, I think rejecting pre-r1695384 patches is _good_, since
thoes patches were simply invalid and would have gotten in the way of
assigning a meaning to the 010000 bit in the future. If we ever find
out that somebody is generating such patches, we can then relax our
parser to accept them.

I don't understand. If the generated patchfile doesn't need the \ line,
then that is a great reason not to have it here, so that we test parsing
the output svn currently generates.

In any case, patch_dir_properties() and patch_add_symlink() are written
without a \ line. I'll make one of them use a \ line so both variants
are tested.
