I think the idea was to implement functionality that doesn't fit with what File Systems do, in this version control system operations. So that operations like update, commit, revert, etc could be supported. I too, implemented something on top of SVNKit (for an internal project), and another project on top of YANNFS -- I wonder how many implementations are floating around there just due to licensing restrictions?
