RE: svn commit: r1143860 - /subversion/trunk/subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/update.c

This was no heuristic. This was always guaranteed the right
information, because it was obtained from the wc just after obtaining
the write lock.

If this would be some heuristic ANY UPDATE would be some heuristic as
the update itself is driven based on the same information. (Except that
it is stored in a tempfile on the server because storing a revision,
lock, path, etc for every node can easily be to big to store in ram.
The number of switches in a wc is- just like the obtained locks-
typically very low)

We cannot calculate them even over HTTPv2 in case of switched paths
(or file externals). Bert implemented some heuristic in r1142065, but
as any heuristic method. Really stable way to fix the problem is to
include property with repos relative path to update report.

The problem that old code actually didn't work: X-SVN-VR-Base request
header was simply ignored by server (see r1141845).
