Interesting idea. I thought of a similar approach: make every
svn_client_* function take a session as a param. Then add an
svn_client_opensession() and svn_client_closesession(). That way, each
client can decide itself how long a session should be used and for what.
Maybe those API's could just behave as they do now if the session param
is NULL.
