Description

dev@ thread "Pristines-on-demand: authz denied during textbase sync"

 authz_tests.py 31 remove_access_after_commit(): "remove a subdir with
authz file"
Fails in pristine-on-demand mode in this scenario:

• checkout
• commit changes to files under dirs (B,D)
• change authz in repo: remove access from (B,D)
• local modification to file under dir (D)
• (no text bases are present locally, yet)
• update

Expected: the update ...

• removes now-inaccessible unmodified paths (B)
• tree-conflicts now-inaccessible parent of local mods (D)

Actual:

• the update first does a "text base sync", trying to fetch text bases
  of all locally modified files within the tree, and
• this code path errors out "unauthorized" when it hits a file such as (F).

(Annotations (B), (D), (F) refer to distinct files found in the test case.)
