svnshell-like client

Hello,
We are migrating from a RCS-like revision control system, RCE, to Subversion.
The users are accustomed to poking around in the directories where the archive
files are stored to see what's there in a Linux bash shell. While it is
possible to do this using the svn client commands by providing the full path to
objects in the repository, it is somewhat inconvenient. A shell user accustomed
to using cd, ls, and path completion to inspect a file tree can't use the same
methods when inspecting the repository.
I noticed svnshell.py. This is similar to what I am looking for. However,
svnshell.py is a server-side script. I am looking for a client-side script - we
have users at multiple sites that will want to inspect the repository.
The key features/commands I am looking for are:
1. a client-side script
2. cd to change the current directory
3. ls to list files
4. path completion using the TAB key
5. info command to invoke svn info on a repository file or dir
6. log command to invoke svn log on a repository file or dir
7. a simple find command
Is there anything out there like this? I have not found anything in my web
searches so far. If not, any suggestions on what to use as a good starting
point?
Best regards,
Rick Varney
