[VFS] Subversion as a File System?

2007-07-10 Thread Toni Lamar

Would it be possible to use (make work) VFS with Subversion as a file system?

Many applications would benefit from versioning content/files but for the
moment it just looks like a too much overhead to use the Suversion API (e.g.
http://svnkit.com/) or a similar solution.
VFS is so uniform that many would like to use it or consider using it
(since local files is how most applications work, so using VFS would make
more sense if one has the chance this way to switch to other file system
for free when required).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Toni.

 It might be worth trying to use WebDAV from the VFS sandbox. Of course
 you need to be running the svn server via http and not svnserve.
 
Thank you for the idea.

Are you aware if using webDAV over svnserve would have a high performance
overhead (especially from the responsivity point of view)?

Thanks,

Toni.

Hi!
 Would it be possible to use (make work) VFS with Subversion as a file system?
   
We already had a try to do this [1].

Due to licensing issues any commit of the code has been delayed ...
until it got that old that it is now not that easy to apply.
If you would like to, you could spend some time to make it work with
current svn head again. Would be great for sure!

Thanks!
Ciao,
Mario

I think http/webdav is usually a bit slower than svnserve, but a lot
depends on your specific environment. You'll probably just have to
test it and see. You can also search the archives of the svn users
list -- I believe this has been discussed before on that list.

Cheers,
Raman

OK. I'll give it a try after I'll get used to the VFS code base. At the
moment is new to me :).
