Done (see r1480723)

Gone.

Fixed that with an element-by-element compare.

Instead, couldn't we change svn_client__get_revision_number() to be able to open a session iff one is needed? But wait -- in fact we're going to need a session anyway -- the caller opens one if this function doesn't. So can't we simply open one before calling this function, and let this function make simple calls to svn_client__get_revision_number()?
