I'm just checked to see what the state of Python API was in the issues.
There is one issue 1451. Is it still you're intention to ship 1.0
without a scripting API that works? In my world this is a gating
factor for adoption of subversion. I'm not trying to change your
mind on release criteria, I just want to know when this will be
important enough to make work. Then I can plan what I do accordingly.
I'll keep working with Russell to get svn.client working to help
get this usable. But I fear that at some point we will run out of
knowledge of how subversion and its bindings are supposed to work and
will need help from a core developer.
