That's changed, then... years ago when I was starting cvsnt I looked at
subversion & when I asked about adding another protocol I was essentially told
it was DAV or nothing...  since I wanted Windows integration it wasn't an
option to continue down that path.  I even offered to implement it for them
but was basically told to get lost.
