Oooooh, a very good idea indeed! We'll have to look at that eventually.
The mechanism you describe is preferable, but it should be noted that subversion properties are easily accessible using the clients.
So long as said properties are human readable/writable, that's also an option.
The main issue for me (And many others I suppose), is the fact that every single object type I use is either completely custom, or a monkey patched version of a built-in type (Notably OFS.Image for instance).
So there would have to be a reliable serializer for "other" objects, which I beleive you already have, so that's OK :)
i dunno if you use or have tried archetypes, but it has experimental support for generating the needed ape structures from its schema.. see archgenxml and archetypes/apesupport.. its pretty cool actually you cane go from a uml model straight to a content model with support. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/archetypes/Archetypes/ApeSupport.py?re... cheers, -kapil
