Perhaps a 'tag' composed of file externals? > one last q though: is the vtable->reparent the equivalent of a C++/Object > Oriented Virtual Method?

A vtable could be compared to an abstract class; each of the four RA libraries (ra_local for file://, ra_svn for svn*://, ra_neon and ra_serf for http://) implements that vtable. (We also use vtables in other places, e.g., between libsvn_fs and libsvn_fs_*.) In practice, every library defines all vtable members, so it's s/can override/must define/.
