Why would you have to license SVNKit? If you're a "consumer" of it, or
distributing an Open Source project that uses it, it's Open Source. If
you want to integrate it into a non-Open Source application, then you
have to license it.

I just checked; I'm using JavaHL, and it's the only option I have
installed. I have Eclipse 3.4.1 and the current Subclipse installed. I
can't complain about the performance but I'm sure my WCs & projects
are much smaller than yours.
