svn_client_set_changelist() takes a changelist name and returns an array
of paths which belong to that changelist. I don't think there is an API
which lists which changelist a file belongs to, nor one which lists all
the changelists which are currently in the WC. Maybe sussman can
comment on the feasibility of adding such.
(Note that my knowledge of the changelist feature is pretty shallow.
I'm just trying to plug holes in the bindings.)
