This is a good idea; we want to start filling out svn_ra.h now
anyway.

I think our ability to "compose editors" is a good step in solving
this GUI problem. I suspect that if SVN users are ever waiting
around, it will be because they're waiting on an editor to commit or
update over the network.

For example: right now, we have a "trace" editor which is composed
with the main update-editor; as the update editor patches the working
copy, the trace editor intercepts and prints status codes and
filenames. For somebody writing a GUI, they could compose their own
editor which provides graphical progress-feedback instead.

Is this sufficient?
