It's worse than you think; there doesn't seem to be any way to to do
an existence ('stat') check in the public libsvn_fs API. I discovered
this a couple of weeks ago when fiddling with the svnadmin shell. My
hack was to do:

   if ((! svn_fs_is_dir) && (! svn_fs_is_file))

So maybe while you're at it, Mike, you can add this missing stat func
to svn_fs.h? :-)
