Well, yes I've seen that one. But: svn_client__open_ra_session() is
_much_ easier to use because it takes an svn_client_ctx_t structure
instead of an svn_ra_callbacks_t structure. And since most API calls I
use are svn_client_* ones, I already have an svn_client_ctx_t object
ready to pass to them. With svn_ra_callbacks_t, I'd have to create a new
object just for the svn_ra_* calls.

Well, I guess I have to get over it and just create an
svn_ra_callbacks_t object...

And thanks for the quick answer.
