Subversion hacking

Subversion is a version control system that can be used for managing versions of files, such as programming source code, text documents, web sites, or image collections. Here are some links:

• Subversion home page: http://subversion.tigris.org.
• Subversion project repository: http://svn.collab.net
• Subversion book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com.

Here is my attempt at a MySQL file system backend for Subversion.

And here is something similar but less ambitious and more useful: a Subversion repository indexer.

Wishlist

Here are some things I'm looking forward to in Subversion, in no particular order. Many of them aren't priorities for the rest of the Subversion community, so I may end up attempting them myself.

• A svn obliterate command.
• An SQL filesystem backend (some time in the next decade...?).
• Full text indexing of repositories (svnindex aims to provide this as well as structure indexing).
