Impressive.

Have you tried testing on a system other than windows yet? I'm seeing a
whole lot of test failures (at least for the part of the tests I can
run, I don't have apache set up on this machine, so I'm just testing the
svnserve part). One possible cause is that there seems to be an EOL
difference between stuff checked out by the svn command line tool and
stuff checked out by your library. For example, the README.txt files
you write out are ending up with dos line endings, but the ones svn
writes out are native unix line endings.

Cool.

Cool, I'll have to play around with it. I'm mostly interested in this
just for the purposes of an eclipse plugin that doesn't require native
code. This looks like a promising start.
