Thanks for the quick action, Daniel!

Hmmm, I don't see any svn_client.h changes in there. They would be
needed, because you'd have to publish the new svn_client_export4 API,
and deprecate the old svn_client_export3 API, in the usual way. (See
examples in the other header files, see HACKING).

However, since svn_client_export3 is new in 1.2 anyway, and 1.2 has
not been released yet, there's no need to make svn_client_export4.
Just change svn_client_export3 as you need (remember that its API docs
will need updating in svn_client.h too).

Also, while not absolutely required, a regression test for the new
feature is a huge bonus, and gives a patch higher precedence.

The shape of the code change looks correct to me. I haven't actually
tested it yet (this is one reason a regression test is handy).

Shockingly, the 'recurse' parameter of svn_ra_do_update is not
documented right now, a fact which makes it more difficult than it
should be to verify your change. Nor is that parameter documented for
svn_client_checkout2. Grrr. Inspection of the code indicates that
the 'recurse' flag does what we all think it does, anyway.

I'll fix these documentation bugs. They're not related to your patch,
except insofar as your patch caused them to be noticed.

Good change, overall. Can you resubmit it as described above? (Or if
you don't have time, let me know, and I can make the adjustments.)
