Re: subversion filesystem

Hi,

I have seen that there is something similar to this called WebDAV:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book.html#svn-ap-c

and I think that it is great that there exists such a module for http. I
don't think it would require too much work to make a module, daemon, or
overlaying filesystem to achieve this. The daemon will just have to
intercept all disk IO calls and determine what to do. The only reason I
sort of want to see this fork a new module or daemon is that it would be
extremely useful and as such help system administrators and of course end
users from losing their critical data.

c.a.t. suggested that we would need 2 databases - for an end-user it would
just be cds, whereas on a server - it would be tapes, harddrives, or dvds.
So, I see it as being a single, local repository or journaling filesystem
where all changes are kept on the filesystem itself until specified to
expunge old changes after they have been backed up, but this database can
always be raided, mirrored, etc. This daemon would also have control over
what directories, partitions, or files to include in the database.

Does anyone have any ideas on this to add or help make it a possibility?

thanks,
Walter
