But we do.  'svn' is a wrapper around svn_client/svn_ra.  'svnadmin'
is a wrapper around svn_repos/svn_fs.  'svn' always refers to
repositories via URLs.  'svnadmin' always (I think) refers to
repositories via paths.  'svnadmin' does not have a dependency on Neon
or Serf.  I think this distinction is valuable.
