Specify the revision range
To find the versions of your code.
But watch out for the schema change,
Lest you have to dump and load.

If you wonder why you are in hell,
Why you working copy seems so slow.
It's because you're parsing XML,
Half the speed at which a beard does grow.

Without libsvn_wc, where would we be?
We'd probably have more sanity.
Lockfiles dropping left and right,
Deleting thing, but oh-not-quite,
Cleanup last all the night.
At least it does things loggily.

Raise the RA banners high.
Two great armies upon the fields.
Both fight for a common cause
But will they clash, or will they yield?

One is built upon Apache -- tried and true.
Guaranteed to make your IT guys love you.
A web server that you already have.
And you only need to teach it DAV.

The other's a proprietary thing
With a protocol so tight your network sings.
And while it can't defeat Apache's flexibility,
Your operations finish this side of eternity!

Some have said, "Your storage format seems quirky to me.
Why not flat files?  Or anything but Berkeley DB."
So now we must confess that it's anybody's guess
As to where your data's hiding in libsvn_fs.
