I guess my concern is that one of the several layers between
apr_file_open() and svn_repos_open() might someday decide to wrap
up the error from apr_file_open (just like svn_repos_open itself
does, causing trouble in __split_URL).

What if we made the following change? Then, it is the reponsibility
of every error to know what apr_err, if any, triggered it. That
would allay my concerns.

Note that, IMO, this code merely memoizes the results of the
while(cause->child) loops in my previous patches, but maybe everyone
will find this approach more palatable. :-)
