SVN_WC_ENTRY_THIS_DIR is not a path but is a name placeholder.  The
essential difference is that paths can have multiple components, such
as "foo/bar", and can be absolute, such as "/zig" while names are
always single components relative to the parent directory.  The path
"" is a valid path, it's the canonical form of ".".

It so happens that SVN_WC_ENTRY_THIS_DIR is equal to "" (athough in
the past it used to be "svn:this_dir") but it's just a placeholder to
indicate the directory's own entry among the entries for a given
directory.  Every access baton has an SVN_WC_ENTRY_THIS_DIR entry.

svn_wc_entry takes a path.  If the caller passes the path "" the
function should return the access baton that corresponds to path "".
There can be at most one access baton in a set that has a path of "".
