I was thinking of that. Unfortunately, this being C, the overhead of
setting up an array would be annoying. However, I thought of another
way. Let's change SVN_CL__TRY() to a variadic function:

   /* A helper for the many subcommands that wish to merely warn when
    * invoked on an unversioned, nonexistent, or otherwise innocuously
    * errorful resource. Meant to be wrapped with SVN_ERR().
    *
    * - If ERR is null, set *SUCCESS to TRUE and return SVN_NO_ERROR.
    *
    * - Else if ERR->apr_err is one of the error codes supplied in
    * varargs (typically, codes like SVN_ERR_UNVERSIONED_RESOURCE,
    * SVN_ERR_ENTRY_NOT_FOUND, etc, are passed), then handle ERR
    * as a warning (unless QUIET is true), clear ERR, set *SUCCESS
    * to FALSE, and return SVN_NO_ERROR.
    *
    * - Else don't touch SUCCESS, just return ERR.
    */
   svn_error_t *
   svn_cl__try (svn_error_t *err,
                svn_boolean_t *success,
                svn_boolean_t quiet,
                ...)
   {
     if (err)
       {
         /*** loop over varargs in obvious way ***/
       }

     return err;
   }

Then we just replace all instances of

   SVN_CL__TRY (whatever);

with

   SVN_ERR (svn_cl__try (whatever));

Thoughts?

Yes, I think we should (though that's somewhat a separate issue).
