Well, thanks to our excellent log message format, you can see the
history of this function. Looks like it was created by gstein way
back in the early days, then complexified a bit by me in r405 and
cmpilato in r2090. But the svn_error_clear() bit was added by
julianfoad in r8923.
Of course, at no point have errors ever been *handled* (i.e. reported
or acted upon) in the history of this routine. Julian was simply
trying to stop us from leaking the ignored errors.
