Ah, you noticed it too. One session to get the current head revision in
order to initialize the wc, and another to perform the update operation.

You might be able to get the HPUX tests going by arranging to close the
first session before starting the second. But that would still be a
rather inefficient use of server resources. Actually fixing the problem
requires some thought, like maybe making svn_client__update_internal
accept an optional ra baton.
