In the interest of readability, I'm replying to an old e-mail here to
summarise the discussion else-thread.

Work is ongoing, with some committed to the repository and some still in
progress (including the earlier mail from Brane with a patch).

It seems we should be able to get this done not too far into the future.

I have removed SERF-195 from the checklist as per consensus else-thread.

FWIW: I've just rebuilt TortoiseSVN based on Serf trunk and the 1.15.x
branch of Subversion (with SVN__SERF_EXPERIMENTAL and SVN__SERF_TEST_HTTP2
to let Subversion use some new Serf features. Build went fine and some
initial tests (checkout, commit) also worked as expected. I'll use this on
my work laptop for a few days to test out

Cheers,
Daniel
