I guess the first question is: why?
Not that this is a bad idea or anything. But what goal are you trying
to accomplish by implementing a new Subversion backend? Is it just an
exercise in "to see if I can", or will it offer benefits over the
current backends? (eg performance, maintainability, interesting new
queries, etc.) If nothing else, knowing what problem you're trying to
solve will help guide your schema design.
