As Ben points out, svn_ra.h and friends may help you understand these
things better, but I'll try to answer in case they don't.

I don't understand the phrase "server local workspace revision". The
reporter commands describe the client's working-copy revisions. You use
delete-path to describe that the client is missing a particular part of
the working copy, and link-path to describe that a part of the working
copy is pointed off into some other part of the repository (due to "svn
switch" having been executed in a subdir, generally).

I'll refer you to the RA documentation on this point.

Again, the ra documentation should make these clear. An empty string
for "target" in the update command would mean that the target is
described by the URL given at connection open time; any path you gave
would be relative to this URL.
