Issues surrounding the C (SWIG) bindings between Perl and the Subversion RA (remote access) API were "the hard part" in making SVK work, according to the lead author. That being said, I am unaware of any drastic outstanding issues, so perhaps there are useful components there. > Sure, you can actually pick up the current development straight from > git://linuxfood.net/pub/git/kosek.git I will take a look.
