Nice. Does it work? (the only reason I ask is that you only added a
single XFail test, so I'm not sure what the status of the branch is
currently).

One other comment: it'd be nice if we were able to make libsvn_client's
file_fetcher slightly smarter, so that it's responsible for opening the
second RA session on-demand. Otherwise, we'll always open an extra
connection to the server every update, even if we don't need it for
anything. This seems like a waste of server resources.

(It's not clear what the scope of POOL in the svn_wc_get_file_t callback
is, but it's reasonable to assume we can't use it to allocate the
connection: we'd need to stash an appropriate pool somewhere, I guess.)
