Actually, I haven't yet. My current approach is to cover
the 1.4.x functionality and to verify my implementation /
infrastructure.

That should be no problem. Basically, the data is stored
in hierarchical containers with auto-compressing I/O.
Adding new sub-streams should be easy.

In fact, I consider the data structures fit for all TSVN-
internal data (paths, cached state info etc.) because they
are much more efficient in space and time than plain strings.
Of course, this is more like 2008 ;)

I am aware of that and will sync my branch with the 1.5.x
changes from the /trunk as soon as I verified the basic
functionality.
