Why does this typemap break compatibility? The Ruby bindings don't
expose the SWIG-generated APIs directly. Instead, we expose friendly
hand-written wrappers (for example, svn/repos.rb). For details, review
r19545.

See http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2006-07/0608.shtml for discussion
on the compatibility policy for the Ruby bindings.

I recommend we revert this change.

Cheers,

David
