If I understood the conversation right, Greg was arguing that the
context object should still be opaque to users of svn_client, just not
to the internals.

Also, opaqueness does not demand a null pointer. All you need is a
forward struct declaration ("struct foo;" or "typedef struct foo bar;"
as appropriate) in the public header file.
