Sorry to intrude, but just an additional possibility : can the strings
manipulated by SVN contain embedded NUL characters ( "\0" ) ?
If they can't, then you could use an std::string containing a single
NUL character to represent the NULL string :
#define SVN_NULL_STRING std::string(1, '\0')
inline std::string getAuthor() const { return ptr ?
std::string(ptr) : SVN_NULL_STRING; }
