Enough time is required too :)

I have the SVN manual next to me. We have toyed with modelling a MC  
archive as a directory of files in SVN.

The file name of the MC, sans auhtor initials and version number maps to a  
SVN directory. The files in the MC are stored in the SVN directory.

Versioning information is handled by SVN.

We would then suggest a Squeak component which could interact with the SVN  
client library to compose the list of available versions and commit new  
versions.

It is currently at the handwaving stage, comments welcomed.
