I think the problem is definitely related to ancestry. The editor
driven by the ra function do_update does seem to ignore ancestroy.
From my investigation, the editor for updates seems to be driven by
the reporter code, not by svn_repos_dir_delta. The reporter code
doesn't seem to pay attention to ancestry AFAICT.
