Yah, I'd do that. It's very rare to even *have* a src_err in an
svn_error_t structure; most errors are originally generated by the svn
libs. When they do get a src_err, they usually just wrap it up with
an apr_err anyway. At a minimum, you can have your server process
dump the src_err to a logfile.
