prop_walk adds a leading / to all subdirectory paths. Unfortunately
this causes a problem when the remote repo lives in a subdirectory itself,
as the leading / causes subsequent PROPFIND calls to be executed on
the wrong path. Trimming the / before calling the PROPFIND fixes this problem.

All tests passed after this change, but since it seems to only apply
to WebDAV SVN repos I saw no way to add a new test.

Eric, the change is very limited in scope (only the parameter to
ra->get_dir() changes) so I can apply myself, if you agree this
is a trivially correct fix.  I just do not know svn-perl
interface well enough to judge.

Yes it is.  It appears this regression was introduced in
01bdab84e31763a98206c31cf99b9dc3cb221356 so yes, it's trivially
correct :)
