Hello all,
Thanks to everyone following svnbrowse.
I believe this project has come to a state of a decently stable milestone.
It
is capable for general browsing around in a tree and overall interactivity
feels good.
However, there are a few things which need some further attention.
1. Opening a file would crash the entire application; I don't know what the
best way to display them would be.
You could do worse than take a page from Norton Commander for DOS.

It was THE file browsing/display/edit tool back in the day, and
still a good example of how a TUI should be designed.

I believe it would show the file in an editor/viewer. It is a good
user experience, but also requires downloading the file which might be
complicated to implement. It also introduces an unbounded operation.
"Unbounded" in the sense that it can take a long time, or take a lot of
space? The file size is known in advance, and we have cancellation
callbacks with which we can implement timouts. Other than that:
svn_error_t *
svn_client_cat3(apr_hash_t **returned_props,
svn_stream_t *out,
const char *path_or_url,
const svn_opt_revision_t *peg_revision,
const svn_opt_revision_t *revision,
svn_boolean_t expand_keywords,
svn_client_ctx_t *ctx,
apr_pool_t *result_pool,
apr_pool_t *scratch_pool)
does everything you need.
