I'd be surprised if there's ever a pure PHP SVN client. The direction SVN uses
is bindings through SWIG, which I believe has support for PHP bindings. SVN
comes with Perl and Ruby bindings but not PHP ones.

Not sure how much effort adding PHP bindings is - presumably it's simplified
by having SWIG in the middle acting as an intermediary, but I've had a brief
look at SWIG. I think this would end up as a loadable PHP module, which is
better than spawning svn processes, but not as convenient for hosts where
you're not the admin.

I'd be interested in seeing any answers to this, since I use subversion for my
hobby projects, and I've not been particularly impressed by any of the web
interfaces I've looked at.
