[I] feat(tools/subversion): Apache Subversion (SVN) support — ASF svn.apache.org / dist.apache.org [magpie]
potiuk opened a new issue, #602:
URL: https://github.com/apache/magpie/issues/602
Add `tools/subversion/` for **Apache Subversion (SVN)** support. This one is directly relevant to **the ASF itself**: `svn.apache.org` still hosts active source trees for a number of TLPs, and `dist.apache.org` (the release-distribution area every ASF release is staged and published through) is **SVN, not Git**. A framework that stewards ASF project workflows but can't touch SVN is blind to a core piece of ASF release infrastructure.
**Capabilities to provide:**
- Checkout / update / `svn diff` / `svn status` against a working copy
- History read: `svn log`, `svn blame`, file-at-revision
- Commit with message (write-path gated on explicit user confirmation in the calling skill)
- `dist.apache.org`-aware helpers: stage/promote release artefacts under the SVN release area (useful for a future release-management skill family)
- Reuse the VCS-capability shim introduced by `tools/mercurial/`
**Why:** Beyond ASF infra, SVN remains in heavy use across enterprise, legacy OSS, **SourceForge**-hosted SVN repos, and large monorepos that never migrated. For ASF adopters specifically, `dist.apache.org` support is not optional — it is how releases ship.
**Reference:**
- SVN book: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/
- ASF dist area: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/
- Depends on the VCS abstraction from the Mercurial bridge issue
