Principal problem with this proposal:
The is *no* master list of repositories in any of the subversion access
methods.
file:/// - who cares, use ls.
http:// - yes, SVNParentPath could be indexed - but one server could have
arbitrarily many SVNPaths and SVNParentPaths.
svn:// and svn+ssh:// - the server really has no idea where the repositories
are until the client tells it!
Max.
