r12012 made cleanup repair timestamps.  Some people have suggested that
read-only operations like status also do it, by converting read locks to write
locks, as this would be more user friendly.

The algorithm for converting a read lock into a write lock has to degrade
gracefully when it's not possible to do the conversion.  Reasons for being
unable to convert include (there might be others):

- no physical write access

- another write-lock exists

- the entries have changed since the read lock was taken (changing the cached
entries part way through processing is a bad idea)

- a conversion would change the wc version (a read-only operation should not
have such an irreversible effect)
