The normalization of svn:executable values is implemented in the client.
If some client chooses not to implement that normalization the backend
will store any value given.

Should the svn client silently merge '' and '*' for svn:executable
values or should it be a conflict? I favour the conflict but I can see
arguments for a silent merge.
