Sorry for the late reply, I almost missed this thread...

What exactly is 'icky' about moving this to svn_subr?
If you think the static stuff is icky: the same static stuff is used for
the .svn/_svn foldername changes.

I don't think that will work. Last time I wanted to add something to
svn_client_ctx_t and use it in the ra-layers, it didn't work because
svn_client_ctx_t is *not* passed down there (at least not as far down as
I needed it to). And I don't like to change APIs or introduce a whole
lot of new ones (such patches from me have a chance of almost zero to
get committed, so I would just waste my time).

Ok.
