Public Nmap SVN Repository

Don't you guys think a public Subversion repository for Nmap would be useful? I've been reticent in the past due to qualms about SVN security. I'm still nervous about it, but at least the Subversion project has gone a couple years since their last serious security holes. I'm also getting better at locking down services with SELinux. So I think the benefits are worth the risk. Here are my initial implementation ideas: * I'll use svnserve (svn:// format) rather than the Apache2 DAV stuff (http:// repository). * Everyone will have read access to the Nmap/Nsock/Nbase trunks * Nmap developers working on cool experimental stuff (Like Diman, Doug, Marek, etc.) can have their own branches, if they want 'em. That way they can implement cool stuff, and everyone can download and test it easily, but it won't destabilize the main Nmap trunk until it is ready for merging. For example, the raw packet NSE support might be a great candidate for its own branch. * A mailing list (nmap-commits or something) will be set up, to which commit notifications (with diffs inline) will be sent, through a post-commit hook. While those are my current plans, I have a few questions for you guys: Does anyone know any good reasons for using mod_dav_svn (Apache) rather than my current plan of svnserve? A quick search finds this script for sending commit emails: http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/commit-email.pl.in Can you guys recommend this, or do you know anything better? How important do you guys think it is to be able to browse the repository with a web browser, link to revisions, etc. using something like ViewCVS or Trac? I don't presently plan to implement this, but I probably can if there is demand. If you want it, what software do you recommend? Is there anything else you think is important to consider for a new Nmap public source repository?
