Hi

i am very glad to see the svnkit:1.7+ in the Maven Central, but there is a
problem that prevents its use. The following error will prevent the building
of anything that depends on svnkit:1.7.4-v1 and uses only the Maven Central
repository:
===
Could not find artifact de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:jar:1.0.2 in
central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)
===

The svnkit:1.7.4-v1 references
de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:jar:1.0.2 which is not present in the
Maven Central. This effectively makes it impossible to use the
svnkit:1.7.4-v1 without referencing the additional repository
http://maven.tmatesoft.com/content/repositories/releases/.

Please review the possible solutions in the order from the best to not so
good:
1) find a way to upload de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:jar:1.0.2 into
the Maven Central. This will allow to use the already existing
svnkit:1.7.4-v1 without any modifications or additional releases.
2) if you can not upload de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:jar:1.0.2
under its original name, then upload it under custom svnkit-related group,
as was done with the trilead-ssh:build213-svnkit-1.3-patch before, and
release svnkit:1.7.4-v2 with the corrected dependency.

3) if it is not possible to upload
de.regnis.q.sequence:sequence-library:jar:1.0.2 into the Maven Central at
all due to licensing or some other issues, then svnkit:1.7.4-v1 in the Maven
Central is useless, and the only option is to stop bothering the with
Central and use the
http://maven.tmatesoft.com/content/repositories/releases/ repository. This
is sadly the worst option because it will propagate to all artifacts that
depend on the svnkit - they will not be able to release new versions into
the Maven Central too, and will have to use their own repositories, and this
will propagate to their users and so on (fail cascade =\ )
