 * @file svn_path.h
 * @brief A path manipulation library
 *
 * All incoming and outgoing paths are non-null and in UTF-8, unless
 * otherwise documented.
 * 
 * No result path ever ends with a separator, no matter whether the
 * path is a file or directory, because we always canonicalize() it.
 *
 * All paths passed to the @c svn_path_xxx functions, with the exceptions of
 * the @c svn_path_canonicalize and @c svn_path_internal_style functions, must
 * be in canonical form.
 *
 * todo: this library really needs a test suite!

 * of targets.  Use @a pool for any allocations.
 *
 * How does this differ in functionality from @c svn_path_condense_targets?
 *
 * Here's the short version:
 * 
 * 1.  Disclaimer: if you wish to debate the following, talk to Karl. :-)
 *     Order matters for updates because a multi-arg update is not
 *     atomic, and CVS users are used to, when doing 'cvs up targetA
 *     targetB' seeing targetA get updated, then targetB.  I think the
 *     idea is that if you're in a time-sensitive or flaky-network
 *     situation, a user can say, "I really *need* to update
 *     wc/A/D/G/tau, but I might as well update my whole working copy if
 *     I can."  So that user will do 'svn up wc/A/D/G/tau wc', and if
 *     something dies in the middles of the 'wc' update, at least the
 *     user has 'tau' up-to-date.
 * 
 * 2.  Also, we have this notion of an anchor and a target for updates
 *     (the anchor is where the update editor is rooted, the target is
 *     the actual thing we want to update).  I needed a function that
 *     would NOT screw with my input paths so that I could tell the
 *     difference between someone being in A/D and saying 'svn up G' and
 *     being in A/D/G and saying 'svn up .' -- believe it or not, these
 *     two things don't mean the same thing.  @c svn_path_condense_targets
 *     plays with absolute paths (which is fine, so does
 *     @c svn_path_remove_redundancies), but the difference is that it
 *     actually tweaks those targets to be relative to the "grandfather
 *     path" common to all the targets.  Updates don't require a
 *     "grandfather path" at all, and even if it did, the whole
 *     conversion to an absolute path drops the crucial difference
 *     between saying "i'm in foo, update bar" and "i'm in foo/bar,
 *     update '.'"
