Okily dokily.
Since much of my focus is currently in mod_dav and mod_dav_svn, yes: it
should be pretty independent :-) Although I'll need the FS here soon...

Getting a "checkout" to happen will be quite easy, actually. I just reviewed
svn_fs.h and it looks like opening/reading files and dirs will be very
straightforward.
I'd say just another day or two of coding. (of course, something else will
need to *put* content into the repository)
Next: we have update and commit to handle. Commit must provide for adding
files/dirs, changing files, and deleting files/dirs. [for this round] This
will be another good chunk, but it should fit in the three weeks you mention
below.

Right. If the above set of features doesn't sound right (e.g. you want to
throw property handling in :-), then we can adjust. Otherwise, I'll handle
updates and simple commits (no copying or renaming of files/dirs yet).

Seems reasonable so far. I'll flesh out the TASKS/STACK file and see how
that feels.

Right.

Mostly, it is devoid of things like property handling, history reporting,
etc. All of that will need some kind of interface.

Quite fine by me. As I mentioned before, I actually think that
libsvn_ra_local could end up as a crutch during development if we aren't
careful. ("I don't want to run Apache... just let me do my dev over this
little local loop here"; oops.. there goes testing for our main code path)

My mission in life! :-)

The interface is fine with me. I just need to fill in the functions now. And
then the mod_dav and mod_dav_svn work.
Lessee... three weeks starting November 1. I'm all up for declaring M2 to
occur right before T-Day (somewhere in the 20th to 22nd) and then having
people take a break.
