stupid: kill some dead and no longer needed code While I was debugging an unrelated issue with stupid, some of the code in branches_in_paths confused me, since it was using an undeclared variable. It looked like an attempt to short-circuit the file/directory detection before talking to subversion that never quite got finished. The code is mostly unreachable, and obviously broken, so I cleaned it up. I also cleaned up some prepatory code that was getting executed but appeared to only be useful for the short-circuintg attempt.
