Description

When using ra_serf against a server that does not support HTTPv2 if you commit a copy of a tree and delete a tree at 
least 3 or more levels deeper within the copy (while not touching anything in the trees above the deleted tree and the 
copy).

Repo recipe:
[[[
SVNADMIN=svnadmin-1.8
SVN=svn-1.8
URL=http://127.0.0.1:8081/svn

rm -rf repo
rm -rf wc
$SVNADMIN create repo
$SVN co $URL wc
$SVN mkdir --parents wc/a/b/c/d
$SVN ci -mm wc
$SVN up wc
$SVN cp wc/a wc/a2
$SVN rm wc/a2/b/c/d
$SVN ci -mm wc
]]]

The URL attached to the issue has a user report and some details.  The problem is that the logic in checkout_dir() to 
handle implicit checkouts when a parent directory has been added is incorrect.  It only works when the parent of the dir 
being checked out has itself been checked out.
