svn_client__repos_locations isn't in 1.0 clients. The bug is in blame for
1.0 but also in 1.1 clients for many or all commands that take WC paths,
since they use ra->repos_root. But since that is only in compatibility
code, it would have to go into a potential 1.0.x release, so you can
probably forget what I wrote earlier today. get_repos_root is still buggy
in 1.1. servers, but it doesn't lead to any bugs in our client.
Rorry for this noise and thanks for making me think once more:-)
