[xwiki-dev] [Idea] SVN bridge

[jeremi joslin]

Hi ,
why do you need this? Why not just doing a backup?

One think we were thinking is adding to the export plugin the ability
to export the pages to an svn.

For implementing this, give a look ate the store package. As far as I
remember we can chain the storage objects. For example, the first
store is the cache and the second is hibernate. I think it's possible
to insert the svn here.
