Hi Mark, this sounds pretty interesting. MINA and Directory projects could benefit from such a tool. There are two conditions though : - it should _not_ kill Apache SVN server by grabbing the last modifications every minutes. Once a week should be enough. I suggest to ask infra about allowing such a tool to checkout the code on a regular base (we have had really bad experiences lately with other tools who killed the server more than once ...) - If we get some valuable information, the it should be publicly available to everybody. It's an open source project, with an open community.
