It turned out that the .kind member of dirents returned by
svn.ra.get_dir2() is (semi-?)random when used against older Subversion
servers. It would occasionally be 1 (svn.core.svn_node_file) even though
the entry in question was a directory. This took me a while to track
down. Instead, I've switched to always trying to open something as a
directory and catching the appropriate exception that indicates it's a
file.

That's just internal bzr-svn code to make sure an svn.ra handle is only
used once simultaneously. If you call svn.ra functions from a
svn.ra.get_log() receiver, you get very very weird results.

Simply being lazy by not providing prompt implementations for asking for
usernames but using the stock Subversion one instead.

The working copy entries each have url members. These urls are
urlescaped and thus need to be unescaped when used for (e.g.) file id
lookups.
