Hello Matt,
hello others,

I'd like to join in.

I have more or less the same problem in FSVS - in certain circumstances I'd
like a similar list, see below.

For FSVS I'd like to get a list of directory entries for a certain revision,
with this data for every entry:
- size,
- kind,
- all properties (or a specified subset) (for mode, owner, group, mtime and
  some more),
- checksum (currently only MD5, but I could use SHA1 with some effort)

And if there's some flag (or integer) for depth definition (0 to INF), even
better.

See eg. http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2007-08/0327.shtml - where I had asked
before, without getting an answer.

Regards,

Phil
