Oh hum. That reminds me of my recent changes in svndumpfilter on this
very topic. Svnumpfilter uses "repository-absolute" paths, that is,
paths within the versionable filesystem that always have a leading /.
Clearly those are not dirents; nor are they relpaths; nor, by your
definition above, are they URIs to the intent of the svn_uri API.
They're not URI-encoded, either.

Which leaves me scratching my head, wondering which of the three
inapplicable families of functions svndumpfilter should be using.
