Nice log message!

Beautifully documented, and thank you for including the reminder to
always use the constructor function.

Grammar note: say "All information about a commit."

We usually allocate based on the variable itself, like this:

   sizeof (*commit_info)

That way if we have to rev the type later, to say svn_commit_info2_t,
there's only one line to change -- and no possibility of forgetting to
fix the allocation and thereby getting seg faults :-).

The name "svn_helpers.c" is a bit generic, and the "svn" prefix is
redundant. How would you feel about "types.c" or "constructors.c"
instead? That would be somewhat descriptive, while being generic
enough to be useful for other constructors later.

Thoughts?
