This article discusses how Lucene (although improperly attributed, the
actual site is http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html) can be
extended to index arbitrary collections of data.

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2000/jw-0915-lucene_p.html

This code shows how Lucene suggests one might index HTML files. Extend
that logically and see how one would use the Lucene concept of a Field
to store svn properties, up to and including the content of a revision.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/java/trunk/src/demo/org/apache/lucene/demo/HTMLDocument.java

It's practically a done deal. ;-) SMOP

Seriously, if someone has pursued this concept, I think the list would
enjoy hearing about it, success or not.
