HsSVN-0.1: Subversion.hsc

{- -*- haskell -*- -}

-- |HsSVN is a (part of) Subversion binding for Haskell. Currently it
-- can do most things related to the Subversion FS but others are left
-- uncoverd.
--
-- If you find out any features you want aren't supported, you must
-- write your own patch (or take over the HsSVN project). Happy
-- hacking.
