Yes, I'm coming to that conclusion too... This will lead to more delta
fiddeling in the ra_local case, but that's not what we are optimizing.
Don't know how many times one has to learn to prefer simplicity and clean
semantics to less important optimizations... I'll go for this solution
tonight.

Yes. I'll also try to merge the old and the new code, since we will have
to live with the old way of blaming during the 1.x cycle, I assume.
ONe little question. I'd like to give the client a svn_txdelta_stream_t*,
instead of having it provide a window handler and a baton. If think it
will be simpler to pull the delta when I need it instead of having to wait
for the data to be pushed from the RA layer. Are there any problems with
this that I don't see right now?
Thank you for being so patient with me:-)
