Not necessarily. /home/cjwatson and /home/cjwatson/bin here are two
different working copies. (I'd use svn:externals except for the fact
that I use that repository from different locations where the hostname
of the server is different.)

Maybe you could chop off components as long as there's an .svn directory
and as long as the URL for svn:this_dir in .svn/entries is losing
components in the same way. Although, ugh, horrible layering violation.
