Are you not using the libsvn_* libraries? libsvn_client is specifically
meant to build Subversion clients other than the standard command line
client: Subclipse, AnkhSVN, TortoiseSVN and others are all based on it. When
using those libraries, you don't have to be worried to "emulate" the
protocol correctly. Basically, you can build your own client on the vast
experience of the Subversion developers. The other libraries allow you to
interact as a Subversion client on different levels in the stack, libsvn_ra
for example will allow you to interact with a Subversion server without
having a local working copy.
The above is not only directed at you, btw, it's a message to everybody who
is planning to write a Subversion client.
Bye,
Erik.
