http://bit.ly/svn2010slides

Interesting presentation by Subversion developers Hyrum Wright, Philip
Martin, Julian Foad and Dave Brown.

Highlights include:

HTTPv2.0
This update of the current WebDAV HTTP protocol will boost performance
while preserving the benefits of providing web access to Subversion.

SVNJ
A rich server-side JAVA API that leverages Subversion's established
code base. SVNJ will enable the Subversion community to reach out to
millions of JAVA developers to create the same rich functionality and
extensibility on the server that's available on the client.

Obliterate
A new feature that cleanly removes obsolete files and other data from
Subversion repositories. Obliterate will include comprehensive audit
and recovery capabilities to guarantee that history is always
available.

Working Copy
New features include centralized metadata storage and improved
extensibility. These enhancements will lay the groundwork for offline
commits and other capabilities normally associated with distributed
version control systems.
