Cool, so you mentioned it was written in c#. Did it work well to
package mono applications with autopackage? I've been meaning to add
better support for mono based apps in autopackage for a while and it'd
be interesting to hear your issues.

Just curious, why do you need to call bash? You should have access to
pretty much the entire POSIX api (or equivalent .NET api) from mono.

Sounds like you should take a look at the svnbook. http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
