Please spell it like "repos_root_url" to be similar to precedent
within libsvn_wc. We settled on "repos_root_url" and "repos_uuid" when
thinking about variable naming for WC-NG.

If you're going to have the repos_root_url in there, then I would
recommend switching to repos_relpath rather than keeping a full URL.
The relpath is being used within Ev2, and I'd like to see RA move over
to <root, relpath> pairs for clarity/consistency (RA's arbitrary root
and reparenting is very annoying and brittle).

Yeah. The substructure doesn't add any value, it seems.

How about svn_client__pathrev_t, since it represents PATH@REV ?

Again: s/repo/repos/, just like the standard naming in WC.
