Some follow-up questions:

1) Permissions on /var/spool/fsvs

If I run FSVS as root and it creates these as:

# ls -l /var/spool/fsvs
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun  3 18:40 5d

Are there permission leaks that I need to consider? For example, with regular users on the box be able to read the contents of files that they wouldn't normally be able to read by getting to them via the pristine copies under /var/spool/fsvs? (That may even be a nonsensical question, but it was one of the things I wondered about with using SVN on things like /etc/shadow.)

2) When initializing the FSVS working area, there's no indication in the README that you should initialize from any particular location on the file system.

# fsvs init svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path/to/repos

But when I look at the contents of the newly created /var/spool/fsvs/*/*/* folder:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Jun  3 18:40 _base -> /root/fsvs-1.1.4

Looking farther, it's merely the README that is a bit abbreviated, the "fsvs help init" screen gives better instructions and indicates that whereever you are when you do the "init" is where FSVS will consider the working copy to be.

3) Would the "WAA" variable be better named as "FSVS_WAA"?

4) "fsvs init" doesn't give any visual feedback to the user. Even if I ran it twice on the same location. (The "poke it with a stick" method to make it complain and give me some feedback?)
