No, please don't, at least not without more careful examination. The API
should be more designed that that.

For example - right now, we have svn_client__open_ra_session() and
svn_client__ra_session_from_path(). Both create a ra session. We should
consider whether we ought to be exposing both, or (more likely) a carefully
designed merge of the two.

I'd be more comfortable with targeting this at 1.3, really.
