It would be nice to have Subversion's interface exposed through COM;
it would allow ASP code to interact with Subversion without relying
on wrapping the commandline.

(For those who aren't familiar with COM, it's a "language independent"
Microsoft Windows technology for component-oriented development, like
CORBA. Providing a COM interface would be much the same as providing
bindings for VBScript, JScript, etc)

Exposing Subversion's interface through COM would be (as far as I know)
non-trivial, though, so I don't really expect anyone to put the time
and effort in for this -- I imagine that for most projects, wrapping
the command line or using a different platform are more obvious options.

I don't think that SWIG supports COM IDL as a target, or even if it
would be practical to add that sort of support. If I was to attempt
something like this, I'd probably use the SWIG-generated Python bindings
together with Python's win32all COM support. It would be an extra
layer, though, and probably not an ideal long-term solution.

Just thinking out loud :-)
