I still don't understand... you mean a new back-end for libsvn_fs? We
have one backend which reads BDB, another which reads FSFS. So this a
suggestion for an fs back-end which speaks HTTP over a network? If so,
to what? Some sort of server, right? How does that server work?
Either way, it seems preposterous to me to write an fs back-end that
does networking. We *already* have an abstracted network layer, with
different server implementations.
