Um, so? That's an implementation detail, not a necessary part of the
interface. Since TRUE is always 'true' (that is, non-zero), the only
thing that the current contract allows you to do that that change would
make (technically, though not actually) incorrect would be something
like 'if (svn_string_compare(x, y) == TRUE)', which no-one is likely to
write anyway.
