Do you mean svn-fi?

Depending on the interface, couldn't it be possible to rely on svn for
the content of blobs that have already been exported?  If so, one
would only need a place to stash (1) a mapping from mark numbers to
(svn rev, path) pairs and (2) the full text of blobs that have not
been exported as part of a rev yet.

Cheers,
