I think it's a good idea as it will help to make the documentation more
clear and complete.

Hmmm, it looks like we're not entirely consistent: In my mind, PATH could
be a working copy path or a repository path, while WCPATH must be a working
copy path. But, looking at the help strings for, e.g., 'svn add', it calls
for a PATH; I would expect to see WCPATH... (Is there a way to schedule a
path already in the repository for addition?)
