Hi,

The doc fixes were commited a few days ago and merged onto 1.1. The code
changes will go in shortly. Below are comments where I don't agree/have
questions.

Actually, it was already factored in svn_xml.h (svn_xml_get_attr_value)...
So I killed these statics.

This is a little ugly, since it uses a local variable that's not a macro
argument and that has different types in the different files. But can can
say it takes a second arg that should be a struct with a member err. Can I
just put it in dav_svn.h with the same name, or do we have namespace
considerations for that file?

If you scroll backwards in that file, you have a comment saying "The RA
plugin routines". Then, none of the plugin functions are commented. I
think we should add docstrings to all or none.

And nearly the same answer... We should add all or none IMO.

I don't see why copying the struct makes the code more readable.

And I like these detailed reviews because they maintain code quality.
Thanks for taking the time.
