The current svnsup design is composed of:

(called a delta) that represents it. It seems to be almost
complete.

 2- svnsup-apply: takes a delta generated by svnsup-distill and applies
it to an existing source tree. It's currently a work in progress.

 3- a server-side application that runs svnsup-distill and distributes
the deltas (still to be developed).

 4- a client-side application that fetches new deltas and runs
svnsup-apply. New trees are bootstrapped from other sources,
e.g.  weekly tarballs (still to be developed).

I think you've just re-invented CTM.  Before spending too much more
time on svnsup, I suggest you read ctm(1).

To answer one of John Mehr's problems: MD5 sums are 
calculated by
svnsup-distill and included in the deltas. The client 
only needs to

check them against the local files.


Hello,

I've been looking for a way to get the details of a 
complete revision in one step, but I haven't had any luck 
yet.  This would solve the one aspect I'm most worried 
about: with 5+ files and 5500+ directories in my local 
copy of /usr/src, I'd hate to have my code end up 
inadvertently causing a denial of service on the 
repositories with a flood of tiny requests...
