I did some digging last night and I couldn't find something that worked
specifically as a file repo with the types of features it would need, and I
looked at over 80 different projects.

I'm sure that there are plenty of full fledged CMSes that could do this,
some via add-ons, but then it's an issue of having to customize a bloated
CMS which I have some experience with but it almost seems easier to write
one.

Anyone else who is more familiar with available software for this (I only
looked at FOSS, as I don't think they are interested in commercial packages)
please chime in.  Otherwise it looks like writing one from scratch would be
the best option.

One last bit, my 2 cents; as a dev I can appreciate git, svn, etc. but I
think it would have much broader appeal and success as a file portal that
supports categories, searching, reviews and user submissions.

Cheers,
Dagen Brock
