Scanning the recent issue of the MAPS (Dutch NTG user group magazine)  
I encountered the interesting article about experiences with the  
development of luatex and friends. Especially the possibility of  
having protocols http:// and file:// as input source seems promising.  
Allow me to suggest another opportunity here: the inclusion of svn://  
as a source. I myself store my important tex and metapost sources in  
a svn repository in order to keep track of versions and branches in  
an efficient manner. Others might want to do the same. It therefore  
would be nice if tex typesetting could directly access those  
repositories through the svn:// protocol too. Maybe Taco and Hans  
feel challenged....

in principle anything can be supported ... ; while zip:// is implemented  using lua, the protocols are implemented using calls to curl (will be curl lib some day); installing svn support boils down to using one of the mkiv lua support functions: 

\ctxlua { curl.install('svn') } 

(but of course it's better to oput that line it in luat-crl.lua -)
