Ah, nice, I am glad to see I was beat to the punch.

I could take a stab at it, but I will admit I am completely
unexperienced at Eclipse plug-in development and have only an
intermediate working knowledge of Subversion, mostly gleaned from
following this mailing list.
What is the ETA on 1.5?
I am not too familiar with the internal structure of subclipse,
presumably I would be adding an interface method to ISVNClientAdapter
and then code to the two different implementations, one for the JavaHL
implementation and one for the SVNKit implementation. Is that somewhat
accurate?
