Hrm.  I rather expected that this change would have two components:

1.  Remove references to 'svn' subcommands from share lib error messages.
2.  From the same places, return unique-enough error codes that the client
catches so *it* can give those same client-specific suggestions.

Looks like only step #1 was done here.  Were you intending to take this further?

Stefan, please could you put those explanations in the log message?

Thanks for the explanation of your reasoning.  I concur.

In checkout.c, I'm pretty sure an update doesn't help: why would an
update do anything good in case of a failed checkout because a folder
is already a working copy for a different url? IMHO that update hint
was wrong in the first place. --> an update does not change the fact
that there's a working copy from another repo in the way.

In upgrade.c, a different error code won't help since the cleanup has
to be done with an 1.6 client (i.e., a client with an older version).
So a client simply can not act on this and do the cleanup itself.
