Yes, I belive that's correct. The JavaSVN work is separate from
the "official" Subversion codebase, has it's own release cycle, etc.
Check http://tmate.org/tracker/main_page.php for known issues with
JavaSVN. The developer (Alexander Kitaev) is on this mailing list,
but it's probably best to contact him at tmate.org (alex(at)tmate.org),
I don't know if he'd pick up on any discussion about JavaSVN here.
As for advantages, well, hmm. You'd get a pure-java implementation
by using it, so no need to find the platform specific .dll/.so files.
However, you lose the "tried-and-true" usage of the real Subversion
libraries, to which the JavaHL bindings are just a wrapper. It's
probably easier to install/deploy the JavaSVN implementation, you don't
need separate versions for different platforms.
