That's a misunderstanding. mod_dav doesn't *use* subversion out of the 
box. mod_dav has an API that allows replacing its internal file system 
store by something else, and that's what subversion does.

As far as I can tell, the same *could* be done in Slide (ignoring the 
language mismatch), but I don't think that exists. And if it would be 
done, you probably would loose the indexing/DASL support.

Subversion doesn't really implement DeltaV (as per RFC3253) -- only a 
minimal subset plus lots of custom extensions.
