Message The new modules exist to wrapper svnClientAdapter as an Eclipse
plugin. There is zero code duplication and maintenance. The new
modules only contain the small number of files necessary to expose the
code as an Eclipse plugin, the code itself is pulled in via
svn:externals property so it only exists in one location within the
repository. If you browse the repository directly you can see there
is not much in those modules, it is only when you check them out that
the SVN client materializes the svn:externals into files on disk so
that it looks like duplication.
