We have the svn_task_* API (subversion/include/private/svn_task.h:38), although nothing seems to use it yet, on any branch. We have subversion/include/private/svn_thread_cond.h to support it. We use threads in the test suite: subversion/tests/svn_test_main.c:do_tests_concurrently() > and they can be tricky, so unknown and potentially large effort to > complete it. Even with the API building blocks in place, there's still effort involved, of course. Cheers, Daniel
