This sounds to me more like WebDAV than svn, although of course you can 
use svn as a WebDAV repository. There are lots of implementations of 
this; I haven't yet heard of an OS which can boot from a WebDAV 
filesystem, but I don't suppose it would be that difficult, either. I'm 
personally quite fond of the Mac OS X WebDAV integration, which 
actually allows you to mount a WebDAV filesystem, so that it's 
completely transparent to the user (that is, me :) ); I think that's 
better than desktop integration, which makes the WebDAV filesystem 
visible in the GUI but not necessarily available in a command-line 
shell.

So count me as a happy user of WebDAV filesystems.

Sounds very cool.
