Well, threads sure can make things harder, but on the other hand
debugging multiple processes (which is what you'll need for a svn
client command that uses more than one connection simultaneously, and
some of them do) with gdb is just as much of a pain in most cases. So
yeah, making -X work for more than one request in series is fine, but
to make it work for more than one in parallel you'll need either
threads or processes, and threads IMO is easier to deal with in GDB.
At least if you can make the breakpoints actually work ;-)
