Looks like Ben already chimed in, but no, I wasn't proposing to let the client
log information into the server's log file. I was really looking for a
facility to support logging on the client-side (separate than the server) as
well. IOW, let's write one facility that can be used by our clients for
other purposes outside of server-side logging.

The point was that if we tuck away the internals of logging behind an
svn_repos_t, then we can't really share the logging mechanism with the
client. I think that the ability to log stuff to a file or stdout would be a
useful tool for clients, so I was looking to keep that door open.
