That might be useful... but I'm not entirely convinced it would be best.
The summary stats seem to be quite closely tied to the way the client
wants to classify the notifications. For example, it records conflicts
in externals separately from conflicts in non-externals. A different
client may well not be interested in that particular distinction, but
may instead want to classify them in some other way such as skipped
directories vs. skipped files.
I would guess that most clients are GUIs and a GUI would not need
libsvn_client to provide the stats because it would, I assume, remember
the actual notification results in a list, and filter or classify them
however it wants, and then it would just count the elements in its
list(s). So it seems to me that this kind of summary is rather specific
to command-line clients.
To move the counting into libsvn_client would be a much bigger change,
including API change, and Daniel said he's a newbie, so I think just
changing the 'svn' client would be a good task.
