Sorry. I've managed to confuse you.

From the server, there can be only 4 action tokens:

   A)dd
   D)elete
   R)eplace
   M)odify (this used to be 'U', but was changed to 'M' because other
             items in the API referred to "modify" instead of "update")

The client, however, wants its output to be consistent with that of
`svn update', so it maps like so:

   A => A
   D => D
   R => R
   M => U

Basically, we had:

   svn_fs_path_change_modify => U => (network) => M

and now we have:

   svn_fs_path_change_modify => M => (network) => U

where this part here ^^^^^^^^^^^^ feels more "right" to me now.
