I think saying .. always removes one element from the specified path and
documenting that clearly would be a good solution.
If your shell is going to screw with the path before it gets to svn (by
following symlinks, or by making the .. adjustment for you), that's
going to happen anyway, even if you disallow .. completely within svn.
If not, then you can dictate what happens (and also give a good
disambiguating error message if needed, by printing the name of the path
before and after removal).
Locally, it seems like .. is only rejected by svn if the resultant path
isn't a WC and you issue your command from within a WC and also use a
relative path.
