I don't have the experience to make the call, but that makes perfect sense
(I'll note that, for example log4shib gets changes at least every 6 months).
For me, the Tigris code has the advantage that it is a clean interface but
the disadvantage of bringing all that JavaHL baggage over with it, but using
SVNKit has the significant advantage that we can "just" do a port from V2,
which means a better chance of doing what is current expected.
I do think that we would need to fail the related Resource API (since that
is not the way we configure SVNKit), but that is a minor detail.
Unless people disagree I'll do a port of the V2 SVN resource (i.e. implement
a Spring Resource using SVNKit) and add some tests.
Just to confirm my understanding, the current plan is to add svnkit.jar to
the pom as "provided" ?
