FS_PATH either should or should not have a leading slash -- inconsistency
here is madness. If it has a leading slash, then the current code should be
correct, and some caller is perhaps passing something bogus to the library.
 If it does *not* have a leading slash, then we should of course never try
to advance past such a thing with a '+ 1' (which means your patch is incorrect).

I'm not seeing any failures, and the documentation doesn't say for sure, but
I think FS_PATH today *does* have a leading slash. Many RA-API-implementing
functions in libsvn_ra_local build an "absolute filesystem path" by joining
the relative path provided via the RA API to the FS_PATH stored in the
session baton. Some of them just do the join; some do the join but first
transform an empty FS_PATH into "/". It's all very inconsistent, and this
inconsistency is not aided by the fact that the FS and REPOS APIs accept
filesystem paths with or without leading slashes.

My suggestion: decide whether or not FS_PATH does or doesn't have a leading
slash, document in the session baton that decision, and enforce this in
svn_ra_local__split_URL() and svn_ra_local__reparent().
