Extending TRAMP with Subversion Support

Question

After having seen

https://github.com/dougm/vagrant-tramp/blob/master/vagrant-tramp.el

I wonder if anybody has written a similar extension for making svn repos TRAMP-browseable over ssh?

It would be an extra super-bonus if the implementation could make use of keep-alive logic to minimize browsing latency.

Answer 1

In principle, the dav:: method of Tramp should work on Subversion repositories. Unfortunately, it is not a native Tramp method: it delegates to gvfs, which is a C daemon which pulls in a lot of dependencies.
