Re: Patch: add svn_client_get_repos_path

Yes svn_client_info looks good for getting the repos_root.
It also looks like it may be a good replacement for svn_client_ls
as well.

Sad that a new function is using the recurse interface rather then
the depth driven ideas.

Adding the svn_client_ra_session_from_path is only interesting
if the answers to my questions are "its easy if you call function X
in the RA layer".
