Well, I suppose there's always one obvious solution:

   1. don't change svn_ra_check_path() at all.

   2. invent a new RA API which is almost the same, but returns a
dirent. document that it might return SVN_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE.

   3. only teach svn_client_ls() and svn_client_info() to use the new
API. Let them privately deal with 'falling back' to inefficient
listings when talking to an older server.
