According to the apidoc, the `update_target' argument to
svn_ra_do_update() can
only contain a single path component. However, the backends
all support multi
path components to some degree:

 * ra_dav truncates the path and uses the last component
(so, branches/1.4.x
becomes 1.4.x)
 * ra_svn and ra_local support multi component paths

It would be nice to have consistency across backends here,
so I would propose
(after a discussion with maxb on IRC) that a check be added
to libsvn_ra that
checks whether update_target is a single-component path and
returns an
appropriate error if it isn't. 

This will however, break existing 3rd-party apps that rely
on the existing
behaviour. Is that a problem?
