The entire point of the svn_client_create_context function is so that we
can add things to the client context structure in the future without
breaking existing applications. It seems reasonable that something we
might want to add might require some kind of initialization, which might
fail, causing an error of some sort. Basically, it might be useful
later, and it doesn't hurt much.
