Thanks Andrew,
I'm on a x86_64 machine and I use 64-bit Java. I didn't find any
binaries for that. I tried compiling the source but ran into apr
incompatibility problems. Rather then divining in to that further, I
took another approach and tried to debug the SVNKit implementation.

I immediately ran into problems there too since the source found here:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse/tags/subclipse/1.3.16/svnClientAdapter
doesn't compile. Apparently, the svnjavahl.jar that is bundled with the
source revision is incompatible with the source. I get compilation
errors such as:

"The method copy(CopySource[], String, String, boolean, boolean) in the
type SVNClientInterface is not applicable for the arguments
(CopySource[], String, String, boolean, boolean, null)"

One observation I made when looking at the code was that the
SVNClientManager is caching its instances so in spite of the method name
createSVNClient(), it actually returns the same instance every time.
This is probably not ideal since the client, at least in the SVNKit
implementation, doesn't appear to be thread safe. In fact, even if it
were, it would then have to serialize all accesses which would be really
bad, at least for us. We've found that in many cases, four simultaneous
threads operate almost four times faster then one.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
