Issue #900 sorta addresses this, but not really. Basically,
svn_repos_open() needs to specifically handle some of the more common
error cases, and return them back to its caller in a documented
fashion. That way both svn_ra_local__split_URL() and mod_dav_svn's
repository opening code could return a more intelligent error.
