Git or subversion persistence manager

[Niels Boldt <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi

Are anybody aware of an implementation of persistence manager for jackrabbit
that interfaces to Git or Subversion. I have not managed to find anything
using google.

Best Regards
Niels

I haven't heard of such a persistence manager, but it sounds cool!
Without breaking your motivation, it's gonna be quite hard to do that
with git or subversion, as the persistence manager is (deliberately)
kept very simple, so that the implementation does not have to deal
with most things. This means for example that the PM does not know
about the hierarchy of nodes, ie. it is only given nodes by UUID....
For a svn/git PM one would probably want to have the same structure as
in JCR, but that's absolutely non-trivial.

The other approach (that would allow a proper mapping) would be a
Jackrabbit SPI implementation, which involves some effort.

Regards,
Alex
