searching in subversion repos

["Alex Mac" <lots of mailing lists gmail com>]

A thought crossed my mind recently about having beagle search inside
subversion repos. Would I have to implement that as a backend? I've
only written fairly trivial filters so far so I'm not sure how much
work that would involve or if it would be practical but it would be
quite cool to be able to search back in time through all my code and
documents in the repo that I use to store all my work.

Once indexed I'm not too sure how best to display the results in the
beagle search app but it seems like a cool feature to have.

Any possible pitfalls or things that would make this not worth doing?
I know someone has half wrapped the svn api in c# so that might need a
little fixing first...
