I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks now, with an eye toward
writing a Windows-based GUI. It wouldn't be Java, unfortunately -- I'm not
strong enough on Java yet to pull that off. I'd offer a COM object wrapper
around libsvn_client, and a GUI layered on top of that (possibly split into
an ActiveX control for application embedding, and a stock GUI on top of
that).

I had been planning on piping up about this after Thanksgiving, but I may as
well get my two cents' worth in now...

I'll put together a design and shoot it to the group soonish, hopefully next
week.

Comments? Complaints?
