But now imagine someone in your company working from home or while
traveling. Then your firewall won't prevent anyone in the world to see
your open issues and you'd have to implement authentication too ;)

Just to clarify: if such a list of open issues is available,
editing/inserting the issue number in the separate edit box won't work
anymore because in that case there will be only a simple listbox where
you can choose an item but not edit it.

The more I think about that, the more I like the idea (sorry ;)).
Can someone with an apache/PHP setup please try something for me?
- create a section which you serve via DAV (the mod_dav module is loaded
if you've setup subversion!). Then put a PHP script in there which
generates a simple text file. (I'm not sure if PHP is even invoked for
such a section or not).
- Can you point your browser to that PHP file and see the text file or
the PHP script?
- Create a working copy with a new folder, add an svn:external pointing
to the folder served by DAV and do an update. Do you get the text file?
If that works, then the DAV way definitely is the way to go! Because
AFAIK you can get the username which authenticated itself in a PHP
script via apache variables and then generate an xml file accordingly.
