So far , I have read the code , checked out and built subversion and went through schema of tables mentioned in berkeley DB implementation.

Hi,

You might need to ask your question again on dev_at_subversion.apache.org
(see http://subversion.apache.org/mailing-lists.html#dev-ml). But I'm
not sure how many "volunteer resources" are available to help you with
this ... the dev community is pretty small these days. So self-study,
and asking concrete questions for things you don't understand, might
be the best approach.

One word of caution though: the BDB back-end has been deprecated since
SVN version 1.8 [1], which is already more than 5 years ago. That
doesn't mean it won't work, but bugs or feature requests for that API
might not get much attention from the community; and new features that
were (or will be) implemented for FSFS might not have an equivalent in
the BDB back-end anymore ...
