There are binding for subversion to several scripting languages 
apparently. I believe trac uses the python binding, but I am certain 
there are others.

Maybe a python shell for data entry, with options to access subversion 
would be useful? I'd ceratinly hate to see survex turn into another 
piece of windows like bloatware :)
