BDK Has been working (albeit slowly) on a small package for parsing the dump file format produced by svnadmin dump. His ultimate goal is to use this to index a Subversion repository for the purpose of providing full-text search capabilities. Current code is at [L1 ] should anyone care to take a look or use it.
