It was meant as a 'don't punish the guys that are not responsible for the
problem' thing, but I've removed it now.

I have a problem here, which I hope you can help me with.

The function svn_path_cstring_from_utf8 returns svn_error_t *, but I don't
know how to handle that potential error. I've tried to change the return
type of svn_path_is_root, but that would push the problem to its callers.
Atleast two of those callers svn_path_basename and svn_path_join are public
functions, so I can't change those declarations.

I could convert the string somewhere higher in the stack, but that doesn't
seem right either.

Suggestions?

Lieven.
