I was just trying to reduce code churn. Besides the new parameter, you
would now have to call svn_ra_has_capability() every time you call
svn_ra_do_update() (or switch(), diff(), ...) and
svn_wc_crawl_revisions(). I think that's more intrusive than adding a
new reporter function, and making svn_wc_crawl_revisons() use it directly.
