Hmm, can we talk about this first?

I had never noticed this about ra_svn (or if I did, I wish I had said
something earlier). I like declaring variables in the block in which
they are used. It makes the code more readable, IMHO. As far as I
know, the rest of Subversion does this, albeit not with perfect
consistency.

Are you dead set against it? If so, why?

I'm not proposing that we change all of ra_svn's style now -- that's
not worth messing up blame information over. But I'd like to at least
go with interior variables in new code; I even think that justifies
inconsistency with the old code.
