Ack, that breaks my nasty hack because of the ambiguity introduced:

Let's say the URL in question was

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/foo/foo/file

and the changed_path is /foo

Is the repos-URL

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/foo/foo/
    or
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/foo/ ?

Only ra_dav knows for sure. :-)
