Yeah, ra_dav doesn't ensure that this doesn't happen, but the other RA
layers does. I'm not sure how ra_dav knows where the FS path begins.

OK. We have two cases here:
- When we add the repos attribute, we don't check that it is a prefix of
the entries URL. This applies to old working copies.
- We allow switch to change the repository root.

The first problem is solved (in a patch in progress in my WC) by not
adding the repos attribute if it doesn't match the URL of the entry.

The second case is solved by disallowing that kind of switch operations in
libsvn_wc. I'm adding thesame error checking logic here that we have in
the non-DAV RA implementations. I don't think there is any reason to allow
this kind of inconsistency in a working copy. (There is an issue to make
switch behave like relocate if the repository root is changing, but that's
an enhancement.)

ON a side note, I'm adding a new error code. Hacking states that adding
new APIs restarts the soak. I hope a new error code doesn't count in this
case; that would be quite silly IMO.

Thanks,
//Peter
