OAuth in Subversion
Are there any plans to implement OAuth support into Subversion? We use
OpenID for our accounts on Beanstalk (beanstalkapp.com), but it is not true
OpenID since a user/pass is still required. We'd like to help out on OAuth
integration in Subversion so we can use it in Beanstalk and work with some
Subversion clients (Versions) to complete process.
Please let me know if this is possible and what we can do to help.
Thanks,
Chris Nagele
Principal, Wildbit

Perfect. I will get started on this and try to get the OAuth group involved
as well.

Specifically, you can start rousing our interest by writing up a short
document that (1) explains OpenID and OAuth (many of us barely
understand what it is), (2) explains why this would be an awesome
feature to have, and (3) sketches a design of how it might be
integrated into svn's codebase. (In particular, you'd want to look at
our auth architecture by reading include/svn_auth.h, and then looking
at some of the 'auth provider' modules in the libsvn_subr directory as
examples.)

I don't know much about OAuth, but...
http://subversion.tigris.org/hacking.html#patches
...tells you everything you need to know about submitting patches, and
the larger web page (of which that is just a section) is a general guide
