The main reason is that SVN supports several different ways of accessing the repository:
- The "http" and "https" protocols, handled alternatively via "serf" or "neon" libraries.
- The custom "svn" protocol.
- Tunneling of the custom svn protocol through ssh or other external communication tools.
- Direct, local repository access with "file" URLs (there is no "server" involved in that case).
The RA (Repository Access) layer abstracts those.
