I see. The server, in spite of the 'protocol' doc, does:
  SVN_ERR(svn_ra_svn_parse_tuple(params, pool, "l(?r)(?r)bb?n?Bwl", &paths,
which --- because of the last 'l' isn't optional --- throws an error if
the tuple is omitted, before the assert() is even reached.

We could fix either the documentation or the implementation, but in this
case how about tweaking the code to match the docs? ---
