  I'm stuck trying to change svn_ra__vtable_t (at will ;) ). Here, am
having to change the signature of the get_commit_editor member to use
svn_commit_callback2_t.

  Now, svn_ra_get_commit_editor() will have to be deprecated, and will
force us to retain usage of svn_commit_callback_t. Now this will force
us to retain all callbacks(even private) and functions that use them,
till the repos layer and for all three ra libraries.
  What more, svn_commit_callback_t uses individual commit info values
instead of the comprehensive svn_commit_info_t structure. This means, we
need to retain all private functions with individual commit information
parameters, instead of changing to the more efficient svn_commit_info_t
structure. :/

  Am I missing something here? Is there a easy way to do this, other
than retaining all private functions that use svn_commit_callback_t and
individual commit information vars instead of svn_commit_info_t?

Regards,
Madan.
