RA existence check?

Looking at this basic plan for performing copies:

   if (not exist src_path)
     return ERR_BAD_SRC error
   if (exist dst_path)
     {
       if (dst_path is directory)
         copy src_path into dst_path as basename (src_path)
       else
         return ERR_OBSTRUCTION error
     }
   else
     {
       if (not exist parent_of_dst_path)
         return ERR_BAD_DST error
       else
         copy src_path into parent_of_dst_path as basename (dst_path)
     }
   if (this is a move)
     delete src_path

An RA-layer existence/node-kind check of some sort is necessary.
You know, maybe something like:

   ra->get_node_kind (enum svn_node_kind *kind,
                      svn_string_t *url,
                      svn_revnum_t revision,
                      apr_pool_t *pool);

Where a node kind of svn_node_none would indicate non-existence.
GregS, is there an efficient way to do this in RA_DAV, or are we
talking about a custom REPORT/response couplet here?
