How are you getting the list of files in a subversion working copy if not by running svn. Are you using the .svn control dirs? Are the entries file formats publicly speced and guaranteed to stay backward compatible? > I think what I should probably do at this point is just refactor the > current file finder to be a plugin itself, and publish the API.
