      I heard you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem

          Great! I thought it was about this, and you saved me the time to look for the exact comment. Wow, 19 years ago... Time really flies.
