This code belongs in APR, not in Subversion; in the apr_errno.h header.
Turns out that it's a very, very old omission, since way back in 2002,
see the tread starting with
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/apr-dev/200204.mbox/%3C5.1.0.14.2.20020416163613.02327e58@pop3.rowe-clan.net%3E

However ...

... this last line is quite wrong, and not just because
ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND is already part of APR_STATUS_IS_ENOENT.
