OK, I have another question here. In ra_svn.h, we expose the way libsvn_ra
initializes the three currently existing libraries. We have declarations
for public functions: svn_ra_dav_init, svn_ra_local_init and
svn_ra_svn_init. There is the requirement that libsvn_ra_foo exports
svn_ra_foo_init. Are these to be seen as public API:s? The problem is that
I am creating a completely new vtable which isn't part of svn_ra.h. Could
I just remove these declarations (moving them to ra_loader.c in
libsvn_ra)? I and maxb discussed this somewhat on IRC and we aggreed that
a user of libsvn_ra shouldn't call these directly, but instead go via
svn_ra_get_ra_library?
Also, I'd like to move the URL shceme to ra_lib mapping into libsvn_ra, so
we don't have to load all the three ra libraries just to check what URL
schemes they support. If someone is going to support 3rd party RA
libraries in the future, this has to be undone. Is anyone objecting to
this change? Anyone working on 3rd party RA library support?
