The problems I see with svn_client API are:
* support depth rather then recurse everywhere - rejected as "I'm not
convinced"
- for ls, propget, proplist, status, diff
* implement cat from the wc - bug over a year old
* make sure that performance is reasonable
- propget, proplist is very slow if you want all the props for all
file in one dir
Is there any chance of getting svn core to accept patches for that lot?
And its quite a lot of new code.
If no then writing my own is cheap.
