If we have to create an object in the file system for every node in
the repository is this potentially a problem waiting to happen? Are
we going to be greatly increasing the size of the repository and the
demands on the server file system? An svn import of thousands of
files would have to create thousands of these items too right?
Do we have an official goal to remove SQLite as a dependency now?
