there has been interest in a mod_svn or something of that nature from
many people. i think it could be done just by implementing these extra
http verbs required for webdav.

(not 100% sure, but i know that those missing are not helping)

i for one would be very interested in this (mainly so i can do svn
through nginx, in fact, i have a request right now to implement svn
over https and it's making it more complex because i have to use
apache's svn module and proxy to it)

note: i would be willing to contribute some $$ to this cause (to get
an svn module going, especially if it could be put into nginx without
being a third party module)
