FUSE-filesystem over Subversion repository.

svnfs provides virtual filesytem over Subversion tree for specific revision or for all revisions.

svnfs runs on GNU/Linux with Python 2.7 with Subversion and FUSE ctypes bindings.

# Share all revisions under /mnt
$ ./svnfs.py /var/lib/svn/somerepo /mnt -o cache_dir=/tmp/svnfs_cache

# Now all repository revisions are available under /mnt
$ tree /mnt
/mnt
├── 1
│   └── test.txt
├── 2
│   └── test.txt
├── 3
│   ├── a
│   │   ├── b
│   │   │   └── c
│   │   └── b1
│   │       └── c1
│   └── test.txt
...
# To unmount file system use fusermount:
$ fusermount -u /mnt

Specific revision can be mounted by specifying "-o revision=REV" option.

Try "./svnfs.py -h" for more information about available options.

svnfs requires access to Subversion repository raw files, which is not always available.

I haven't found any implementation that supports mounting of all revisions in same tree with effective caching of duplicate between revision files. But if you need to mount only signle specific revision I found following alternatives (also they don't require direct access to raw repository files):

1. Subversion's WebDAV

   Subversion provides remote access to repository tree through WebDAV protocol, so specific revision can be mounted to local directory by using for example davfs.

2. FUSE-based implementation by John Madden: http://www.jmadden.eu/index.php/svnfs/

   And it's forks:
