Encrypted repo contents

I want to create a repo using online storage (think Wuala or something
similar), and am pretty keen that nobody else, including the people
running the storage service, can get at my code. Is it possible to
ensure the repo contents are encrypted somehow? Everything I've read on
the subject seems to allow encrypting the connection from clients to
server, but not the repo contents as they sit on the disc.

Isn't that what using TrueCrypt does? Please see

Couldn't you just mount the online storage using whatever protocol they
support then run the encryption on top?  In linux this would be like
ecryptfs on top of nfs.  Not terribly performant, but it would
accomplish what you want.

You could try with a precommit hook

Okay, fair enough. Thanks for the answer.

I will look at TrueCrypt and see if I can get something working with that.

There is nothing in Subversion to encrypt the contents of the repository.
