That sounds like where I need to go - this is a C application so I
need to be talking to the library API, and in-memory would perform
much better.

Urm. I see the license changed here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/LICENSE?revision=878444&view=markup

So in order to work with svn_ra.h and use LGPLv2 for my code, I'd need
 a clean separation between the svn logic and my code (and any
re-adjusted client code would also have to remain distinct and Apache
licensed?)
