Here's what I (think I) want:

   svn_error_t *svn_fs_history_next (apr_array_header_t **histories,
                                     svn_fs_history_t *history,
                                     ...
                                     apr_pool_t *pool);

And then I want an RA API and supporting svn_repos_* function which,
given a path, peg revision, and one or two other revisions, uses the
FS history stuff to location the committed-path of path@peg's history
line for each of the other revisions, where forward searching is
instructed to ignore successors that were created by copy. The
additional work of tracking N successors lines and returning a
potentially massive tree of choices to the client app is, in my
opinion, quite premature.
