The posting of this issue is wrong in so many ways.

Firstly, you have thoughroughly ignored the request (in bold red text on a
yellow background, no less) to raise concerns with the mailing list first.

Secondly, you haven't bothered to check your facts - BDB Java Edition is a
sort-of workalike containing only some of the C Edition features, not a port.

Thirdly, you indicate that you believe porting Subversion would be "trivial". In
doing so, intentionally or not, you call the entire amount of work accomplished
by the subversion project so far "trivial", since the amount of work to port
code between languages is inevitably proportional to the amount of code!
I hope it self-explanatory that calling people's work trivial is not a polite
way to introduce yourself.

Fourthly, you follow this an erroneous assertion about cross-platform support -
I think you will find C compilers are more widely available than JVMs !

Fifthly, your statements about ease of development are highly subjective - Java
might be easier for *you* but experienced C programmers would no doubt hold the
exact opposite view.

Sixthly, from what I can see from reading the Hibernate homepage, adapting
Subversion to use Hibernate would be a fairly in-depth reorganization - i.e. no
easier than implement than an SQL backend in C.


If you wish to respond to this, please do so on one of the subversion mailing lists.
