If the ASF mandates we do this, then yes we can do something like that, although we do not really need to add the 2 since the namespace alone covers the change and the cruft we would have to keep would hide it. If we have to rename the packages, I'd like to rename SVNClientInterface to ISVNClient while we are at it. That said, I would be -1 on doing this for "just for fun". -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
