Are there any git-svn users out there who would be seriously hurt if I dropped support for using the svn command-line client in git-svn?

The API of the SVN:: libraries seem to be relatively stable these days and are *much* faster than the command-line client. I plan on maintaining compatibility with version 1.1 of the SVN libraries for at least another year; or more if it's not a big problem.

Lately, I've introduced support for authentication and connecting to repositories with limited read permissions, as well as reading from the config files in ~/.subversion; so everything that could be done with the command-line client backend can be done with the libraries, too.
