Looking at that again, the code doesn't rely on repos_basename being
valid when there is an error but it is checking for non-NULL. So it's
still a bit odd that we are checking repos_basename when there is an
error as it means this code relies on dav_svn_split_uri not setting
repos_basename on error.

I still think the test of repos_basename should be removed. If we need
to test something then look for HTTP_FORBIDDEN in err.
