Hi,
I'm a member of the unwashed masses, so forgive me if I make any obvious
mistakes. I would like to jump in with an observation or two that don't
detract from Greg's points:

I'd just like to point out that if you look at CVS, there are numerous web
gateways, and I'd guess that a majority of the CVS servers have one of these
installed. I've only seen one filesystem gateway, for Linux, and I've never
seen it installed. So I can see that getting web access for free would
influence the choice of back-ends.
Personally, I liked of the choice of DAV as a backend because I like open
Standards, and I dislike seeing every new application creating its own
communications protocol, when an existing protocol is perfectly suitable. I
also like being able to browse the repository with Cadaver when I break my
SVN client. But that's just an opinion.

Plus, there seems to be a problem with granularity, at the moment, as well,
although Greg Stein knows more about this than I do.
