A new home for DotSVN

Why re-implement Subversion?
Isn't all one would need a .NET wrapper around the subversion libraries?
Like NSvn (part of AnkhSVN)?

Most libraries (including AnkhSVN) is targeted at the Client API of Subversion. This is rightly so as the intend is to manage the working copy.

DotSVN aims to re-implement all the layers of Subversion. As of now, the 'repository access' layer is completed. Tools like WebSVN will benefit from this layer.

I am looking forward to implement WebDav access!

I see many benefits in this project, such as easier .NET apps deployment

As for me, I would like to implement nice subversion client with nice GUI for pocket pc (at this time, there is no (easy) way to access svn from ppc)

Keep working guys
I am counting on you :P

Have you given any thought to providing native support for hosting respositories in Amazon's S3 storage service? That would be a fantasitic improvement over what you can do with standard without losing any compatibility with the stock form of svn. I suspect that it might be a lot easier for you to add to your project at this stage than it would be for the version over at tigris.org.

Amazon provides a C# web service library for accessing S3 from .NET (their REST library is fully compatible with Mono, they also have a SOAP library but it is not compatible with Mono).

I am considering this use-case. I will update this blog with more information.
