I would actually prefer to see daylight between the two APIs. Perhaps
svnClientAdapter can merely mirror the javasvn interface and only bind
directly to it in JavaSvnClientAdapter and JavaSvnPromptUserPassword?
That way the dependency would only be runtime, and users like me who
can't go anywhere near JavaSVN because of the licensing issues
(without paying for it, which, Alex, I'm trying desparately to sort
out!) can continue using the JNI / CLI impls of ISVNClientAdapter.
I'm keen to help out in any way I can to resolve this issue, because
it is a showstopper for me and my usage of svnClientAdapter.
Cheers,
Gareth
