Hmm ... I have a hard time imagining why this conversion would be so
expensive, but I'll take your word for it. There is of course another
option ... the exact opposite in fact: to take the truepath conversion
_out_ of libsvn_client. :) But then you'd have to require every client
to tweak the target array exactly right for each command.

I don't like the is_move idea; it's too hacky, and too specific to one
single use case. Perhaps the target array could be changed to contain
both "given name" and "true name", but that would require rev'ing most
of the libsvn_client API, which sounds even worse ... sigh.

It's time to think about why exactly, and when, we need that truepath
conversion, before layering yet another hack on top of it.
