Using a database is far more powerful then using a file system.
Being able to use SQL to query the repository is a good solution
to building the more complex SCM solutions on top of SVN.
My guess would be that folks that want the database backends
have tackled complex SCM problems and know why the simple interfaces
to meta data have problems. Speed of query across large sets of
versions and files being one.
