I wouldn't use the word "malicious." I would simply say "uninterested." This
issue may be a problem for the business environment. As it is now, I just
wont mention it to my clients.
As for writing it myself, not a chance. I don't do C programming at all (at
least not in 20 years) and I would need MONTHS to understand enough about
SVN to get it to work. Heck when I wanted to do a pure java client for SNV
people told me "not possible" and after spending a along time researching I
gave up.
I have also never done any encryption programming. Programming is a HUGE
field and one can't know it all. *shrug*
