Re: Small incongruity on the Kontact website

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/apcs02.html says it all:

"So how 'compatible' is Subversion with other DeltaV software? In two words: not very."

But there is some common ground. Basically you can use Subversion via pure WebDAV if you can live with automatically generated checkin messages. If one only uses WebDAV clients (which is an option for a repository that is only used for shared document storage) even locking can be made to work.

I wouldn't say that Subversion can be a reference server for a fully DeltaV-compliant versioned document backend, but I think that it would be quite possible to write a configurable KDE extension as the basis for both a Subversion-aware and a fully DeltaV-compliant frontend.

I know that I'm getting more and more off topic, but an interesting question would be how well the different backend approaches (Subversion with its two backend implementations, OpenGroupware's two implementations, etc.) perform. If used as a document storage for a department or SOHO network such a backend should have throughputs that come close to NFS or SMB, at least for retrieving the most current version of the stored documents ...
