svn binding (Re: any public hosting for lua projects that use subversion?)

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

In fact, fsfs is almost recommended by the svn people; it just got  
there later.  Officially, the two storage back-ends are treated  
equal, and more can come (but most likely won't?).

All in all, I will have a job position for anyone who favors cvs over  
svn.  But I hope, you don't. ;)

ps. To get back to Lua, I'm continuing the work on the svn API  
binding. It won't be complete, but big enough for normal needs.
