We can break our own policies internally if we want to.

The Subversion libraries are only designed to work in a matched set
(i.e. you need version 1.3.0 of libsvn_delta AND libsvn_fs_base, you
can't use different versions), so poking around at the "not for public
use" functions in one subversion library from another one is ok.

But just because we do it, doesn't mean anyone else can ;-)
