I don't understand what you mean by "I tried to give /dev/null or an
empty stringbuf as source for svn_txdelta_apply". You're calling
svn_ra_do_update(), a function which thinks its updating a working
copy, and which will try to report that working copy's state to the
server in order to get an efficient update response back. Where did
you have an opportunity to even be calling svn_txdelta_apply()? You
don't drive the editor; the RA layer does.

So, I think I'd need a lot more detail to understand what you did
above :-).

Well, can you use the reporter handed back to you by
svn_ra_do_update() to tell the server that you don't those files?
