Description

The Python bindings currently create a "double namespace" for the subversion
libraries.  ex:
import svn.client

svn.client.svn_client_status()

It would be much nicer if the bindings were renamed to work like this:
import svn.client

svn.client.status()

This saves quite a bit of typing with their inherent risk of mispellings while
using python modules/objects to handle the namespace issues rather than a naming
carryover from the C world.
