Thanks for the valuable criticism.  A few thoughts:
1. We'll try to fix this over the next few weeks.
2. Subversion's architecture is well-compartmentalized: is this what
leads to communication gaps between the API layers?
3. What are your thoughts on lib'ifying Git so that others can call
into it using an API?

Cheers!
