At the JavaHL level the API already works this way. We just do not
expose it to you in SVNClientAdapter.

In AbstractJhlClientAdapter see this method:

        private ISVNLogMessage[] getLogMessages(String target, SVNRevision
pegRevision, SVNRevision revisionStart, SVNRevision revisionEnd,
boolean stopOnCopy, boolean fetchChangePath, long limit, boolean
includeMergedRevisions) throws SVNClientException {

and the JhlLogMessageCallback class which is the listener we use to
make the array.

We could expose an SVNClientAdapter version of this API so that you
could provide your own callback. I am not sure how well JavaHL would
"like" calling a callback that spent a fair amount of time doing work.
 It might expect the callbacks to be processed fast. This can become
an issue with how it manages it network connection with the server.

One of these:

        /**
         * Get information about an URL.
         * Uses info2() call which contacts the repository
         * @param url
         * @return information about an URL.
         * @throws SVNClientException
         */
        public ISVNInfo getInfo(SVNUrl url) throws SVNClientException;

        /**
         * Get information about an URL.
         * Uses info2() call which contacts the repository
         * @param url
         * @param revision
         * @param peg
         * @return information about an URL.
         * @throws SVNClientException
         */
        public ISVNInfo getInfo(SVNUrl url, SVNRevision revision, SVNRevision
peg) throws SVNClientException;

Then call ISVNInfo.getRevision()
