The only problem I see, are API changes in the core which are merged
into the branches without the matching patches for the bindings. That
will unneccesary break the bindings. These revisions should be
considered together. I am working realy busy to keep in sync with the
recent api-changes of Tobias and Mike.

I would be great if the core developers would put a notification line
when they change the svn_client_* interfaces into their log messages.
Tobias put one into his recent commits. It makes it much easier for me
to notice.

Given that I see the javahl bindings a thin layer over the svn_client_*
calls, I think that they are as complete as they can be ;-) .
