I don't see that at all. Line 67 of svn_wc.h is a comment. I don't see a
parameter named 'new' anywhere in the headers.

Second, we wrap all of our headers with:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif /* __cplusplus */

which I would hope avoid problems with identifiers like 'new'. Not that I
support doing that when it is so easy to change, but it should prevent
problems like you're seeing.
