First of all in general reports about pysvn should go to the pysvn devleopers
and not the SVN developers. It's a separate project which you can find here:
http://pysvn.tigris.org/

Looks like Bert moved this stuff into a private header in
http://svn.apache.org/r1555133 . While these have always been technically
private, they have been in public headers for a very long time (see
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1644 ).

In general I agree with Bert's change since nobody should be using these
private APIs. In practice they have been being used.

Seems to me that we should rollback the long standing private symbols in
svn_sorts.h while not adding any new symbols.
