The fact that Subversion uses a database is an implementation detail you
can't see. (In fact, in the upcoming SVN 1.1 has the option of *not*
using a database for repository storage.)

All you need is svn_fs.h: it's the public C API which looks like an
ordinary filesystem API. You can use that API to browse revision trees
all you want. Perfect for a search engine / text indexer / whatever you
wish.
