The two that I am thinking that should go semi-public are very low level
routines. In order to use them in external code, you'd have to duplicate lots
of the code in the existing library just to set up the call. There are existing
higher level functions which should do what you need better. Besides, if you
are extending mod_dav_svn, you are "family" and hence you can still use the
semi-public functions if you need them.
