What most projects call "void *context", we call "void *baton". It's
like a "this" pointer in C++. C has no OO syntax, so this is the
equivalent. You'll see function/baton pairs being passed around all
over the place.

If you're specifically asking about client_context_baton_t, it should
be documented in the public headers.

Read svn_auth.h. And look at minimal_client.c.
