[PATCH] To improve the documentation of svn_path.h

From: Arwin Arni <arwin_at_collab.net>
Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:57:44 +0530

Hi All,

I am a new-comer to the Subversion code-base. I was looking at some of the
header files (svn_path.h) and wanted to use some of the functions
(svn_path_join()) and noticed that they were deprecated. I thought it
would be nice to have a link to the deprecating functions as a part of
the documentation. Hence this patch.
The log message and patch are as follows.

[[[
Improved the documentation of deprecated functions by providing links
to the deprecating functions.

* subversion/include/svn_path.h
   (svn_path_internal_style, svn_path_local_style,
    svn_path_join, svn_path_join_many,
    svn_path_basename, svn_path_dirname,
    svn_path_split, svn_path_canonicalize,
    svn_path_is_canonical, svn_path_get_longest_ancestor,
    svn_path_get_absolute, svn_path_split,
    svn_path_condense_targets, svn_path_is_child,
    svn_path_is_ancestor, svn_path_split_if_file,
    svn_path_url_add_component)

Patch by: Arwin Arni <arwin_at_collab.net>
