Thanks, Noorul.

I see that this patch contains two logically separate changes:

1. Fix the regression that "svn info" has stopped skipping unversioned
paths, which is caused by WC-NG producing a new error code.

2. Display the specific error message from the API instead of a generic
"(Not a valid URL)" or "(Not a versioned resource)".

I split your patch into two, and committed part 1 in r1055484 and part 2
in r1055494.

I kept those braces, for symmetry with the "if" clause.
