You mean the one in kdesdk ;)

Yeah, I think thats reasonable. If we have code-refactoring in kdev4 we

There's even a Qt wrapper around libsvn1 which is based on rapidsvn's

provides a good ioslave), maybe we can convince the author to split
kdesvn between the app and the lib+ioslave. (Just thinking out loud
