Daniel,
nice url xy...
svn_ra_progress_notify_func_t: callback
Notification callback for network progress information.
it is not the progress I am looking for. It is an upfront information about the amount of data I am going to update before initiating the update.
or is svn_ra_progress_notify_func_t doing this also?
Thanks
Thomas
