Re: Question about the Repository in subversion

Subversion's interfaces are cleaner than that:

   CLIENT LAYER (two entry points):

       libsvn_client --> libsvn_wc
                       --> RA LAYER
       libsvn_wc

   RA LAYER (single exposed entry point with four virtual providers):

       libsvn_ra --> libsvn_ra_svn -(net)-> svnserve --> REPOS LAYER
                  --> libsvn_ra_local --> REPOS LAYER
                  --> libsvn_ra_neon -(net)-> mod_dav_svn --> REPOS LAYER
                  --> libsvn_ra_serf -(net)-> mod_dav_svn --> REPOS LAYER

   REPOS LAYER (two entry points):

       libsvn_repos --> libsvn_fs
       libsvn_fs

See attached quickly-and-not-clealy revised diagram.
