Well svn_client_ls fills a hash of svn_dirent_t's.

Since svn_client_ls only takes one target you can safely assume that if
the hash has more than one entry you got a directory.

If you get one entry in the hash the entry could be a reply to a file or
a directory target. You'll need to look at the svn_dirent_t listing for
the kind entry for the single hash entry. That'll give you your answer
there.

You can find out the number of entries in the hash with apr_hash_count.

Why? svn_client_ls is already giving you the type in the kind entry in
the svn_dirent_t struct.
