-0.5

This should be part of 'svn', not libsvn_<something>, by installing a warning function.
(At least not in non maintainer builds)

The proper way to handle errors is to install a callback. Even a malfunction-no-return is catchable for our users and a library should *never* just try to do something, to ease debugging.

SVN_ERR_MALFUNCTION_NO_RETURN() is no abort. It is a callback that can be handled (and then continue) via a jump or something like a C++ exception.
