Well, assuming svn_path_join and svn_path_uri_decode never return
NULL, this turns out to be the only place where check_path is
called with a NULL. I know that svn_path_uri_decode *does*
return NULL if you pass NULL to it, but every place where the
svn_path_uri_decode return value is passed to check_path never
passes NULL to svn_path_uri_decode.

So, surprisingly enough, the new patch is just as small as the
old one. I have included it here as well as in the issue. If
this patch looks correct, i'll write up a log message for it.
