That's my fault, Neels. I read your message then, and the earlier ones,
and started to reply, but lost my way. Sorry.

Excellent. Thanks.

Heh. It was me who added that. It wasn't by accident. I was trying to
solve the problem of when the target is the root of the WC and therefore
there is no parent WC directory. However, I didn't properly solve that
problem, and I forgot to mention it in the log message, so we might very
well call it an accident.

Great.

Thanks for explaining each part of your changes.

Committed in r32932.

I made just one tweak: There was a point where you wrote "if
(svn_io_check_path(...) != SVN_NO_ERROR ..." which would leak the error
object if it threw an error. Instead, we have to call the function on
its own, as "SVN_ERR(svn_io_check_path(...));". Any error that it might
return is one that we don't know how to deal with, so it is OK to just
return the error to our caller.

Thanks ever so much for fixing this.
