But "the right breakpoint" is the line of Python where you
mis-call svn.wc.adm_retrieve, not in C (or gdb) at all.

Anyway, it should not be too difficult to expand svn_error_t to
have an apr_array to which SVN_ERR appends __FILE__ and __LINE__.
And the svn_error_ calls that wrap an svn_error_t can easily copy
that field over. I tried to entice Hyrum to implement this some
time last year, but of course he's as busy as (or busier than :)
so... :)

Then, in C, you could have a traceback, and in Python the
traceback can include both C and Python code.
