You should subscribe and email the users_at_subversion.apache.org mailing list:

http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html

Check out the "SVNKit Versus javahl" box in

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.developer.usingapi.html#svn.developer.usingapi.otherlangs

Some recent testing with the latest Subclipse using SVNKit I had some
working copy issues on Mac OS X, some of my files had 0001 permissions,
so I switched to JavaHL and they worked fine.
