Please keep your replies on-list.
No, I don't know anyone who has done it. As for hoping it'll become
part of the SVN core product, that depends upon usefulness for the SVN
user community at large, an agreed-upon design, and having the
development resources to handle it on top of the rest of the SVN
roadmap. Financial or time contributions can help with achieve this if
it's a feature that you really want.
