<sussman> do you think it's still worthwhile having a generic
'global' errorlog API, one which servers can share, and has nothing
to do with svn_repos_t?

<ghudson> It never seemed very important to me.

<ghudson> I'll note that if mod_dav_svn wants to log more informative
errors, it can do so to the Apache log

So perhaps I'll go for the simpler option:  let errorlogging (and  
'loglevels') be something completely internal to the server.  Apache  
already has it, and someone will need to implement it for svnserve.   
(Maybe me, maybe someone else.)
