Re: svn_delta_path_driver(), its purpose and future

The docs seem pretty clear to me: svn_delta_path_driver() produces a depth-
first editor traversal, where for each PATH in PATHS the portion in-and-
below PATH is handled by the callback (including the open_*() or add_*()
calls for PATH itself), and the portion of opening/closing the parent
and ancestors of PATH is handled by svn_delta_path_driver() itself.

I have only read its docstring --- not its definition or callers --- so
I might be oversimplifying things. :)

What context did you run into this in?  Trying to revv that function?
To upgrade its callers to Ev2?
