I have subversion installed on a test box.  One of the reasons for 
selecting subversion is that the code is advertised as clean.  This is 
relevant because it would be good for us to make a change in it.  I have 
the source installed also.  I have read various documents.  On the other 
hand I have not done C programming for years

The modification is to intercept some file reads and writes to the 
sandbox.  Some of our files are actually a primative file system with 
pcode program files therein.  It would be good if this was transparent 
and the diffs were on the ascii versions of the individual pcode files.  
So in reading the sandbox, an access to the primative file system 
metafile would translate to recursive accesses to the ascii of the 
pcode.  On import, the ascii would go back to pcode.  It would seem this 
might be possible, even if we might not do it right away, but I have not 
found the right place to look as yet.  Please advise.
