Anything in WORKING means there is no "current revision". You have new
nodes that the repository knows nothing about until they are
committed. They may be added/deleted/copied/moved.

Fair enough.

As long as you alter the docstring to reflect the (new) error
condition, then yes: it would be best to propagate that error to the
caller. It totally sucks where functions silently do nothing when
asked to operate on a non-existent node (where the caller should have
known better!).

My client isn't inlining the patch for a specific review, so I'll
bullet-list things again:

* sparse_checkout |= TRUE should just be sparse_checkout = TRUE

* in the NOT_FOUND logic, no need for SVN_ERR. you *know* there is an
error. do: return svn_error_return(err);

* the URL stuff is wonky. you may *never* get repos info during the
walk. just have the outer function recover the URL via node_get_url()
or somesuch. it certainly beats testing that thing for every node
during the walk, and is much more explicit/obvious to the reader. this
also means you can toss wb->pool

* s/beeing/being/

* in the patch, the braces on the if (err) block look wrong. there
"should" be a close-brace after the SVN_ERR. (which we've also said
needs to change)

* check_wc_root isn't cheap, so taking a page from Bert's book, you
could do that only when switched is FALSE

* the logic in the outer function about getting the URL and computing
the switched flag... you could do that before the walk in order to set
->switched early on

* oh... the whole read_kind and error logic can be simplified. pass
allow_missing=TRUE to read_kind and check for svn_node_unknown. but...
per above, if you want to return NOT_FOUND, then just allow
walk_status to fail

Okee doke. I don't see anything else. :-P

I really like this work. The old function was a disaster area.
