I missed this reply what with the premier. I get the feeling I missed
a lot of functionality in BoltWire when i stopped upgrading for a
while. I will have to get back on track before I do anything :p

Subversion uses database storage in the repository.

It then allows users to check out a "working copy" which they can
edit, update to other versions, and commit to the repository.

I strongly recommend using subversion for BoltWire development if you
are not already using a versioning system. When I started using it to
handle my bachelors essay the installation and usage was quick and
painless, although the initial import and check out could cause some
confusion...

I'm not sure I understand exactly what information you want, but
subversion supports extracting and comparison to any change commited
to the repository, by date or by version.

I began thinking about how to implement a svn plugin, and quickly
realised there would a rather problematic issue with page data. I
would not be able to simply export the page/ folder, but rather have
to export only the content of each page into the repository. doable,
but quickly becoming an annoying and ugly solution.
