Can't say that I did.

If you want to update "/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig" from revision
1307 to revision 1308, you anchor on "/trunk/subversion/bindings", and
"swig" is your target. The update editor will then be driven in such
a way that you can take the paths from editor functions (which are
relative to the root of the edit drive), and slap them together like
this:

   anchor [+ edit_path] = working_copy_path

The rules of anchors and targets are pretty simple:

   1. anchor + target = the thing you want to work on.
   2. target may be NULL or a single path component.
   3. anchor must be a directory.

And there's an additional recommendation:

   4. if there is a possibility that the thing you want to work on
      might be deleted, you probably want to anchor on its parent so
      that the editor driver can call editor->delete_entry() on the
      thing you want to work on.
