Chia-liang Kao would have to give you the definitive answer, but svk:

1) is written in Perl using the Perl bindings;
2) has no WC in the conventional sense;
3) uses a local Subversion repository and custom properties to track merges.

It is not likely to be an easy conversion, but it does demonstrate a possible
route to follow for 2.0.0.
