I must be missing something. What does a complex heavy database
system like MySQL get you that the light and fast FSFS repository
format doesn't? In other words, why do you want this? :-)

Anthony said integration with backup system. Subversion with the FSFS
backend is exceptionally easy to back up...

I have nothing against MySQL, and use it for all my web site database
needs, I just don't see what makes it better (or even good) for
Subversion.
