An amusing side-effect is that if a file *used* to have svn:needs-lock,
and you then remove it, it stays read-only and retains the gray icon.

Is that a bug? Hard to say. I guess that since it doesn't know whether
it was the needs-lock or something else that made it read-only in the
first place, it plays it safe and leaves it read-only.
