I've often wondered about this myself. Of all the "duh" functions you'd
think we'd offer, this one is pretty near the top. And yet folks typically
find themselves just messing around with check_wc() or status() or ...

There's this public one I added a few months ago or so:

svn_error_t *
svn_wc_get_wc_root(const char **wcroot_abspath,
                   svn_wc_context_t *wc_ctx,
                   const char *local_abspath,
                   apr_pool_t *scratch_pool,
                   apr_pool_t *result_pool);

I more than happy to make an svn_client wrapper for this, and demote this to
a private WC function, though!

Makes sense to me.
