Subversion for meta-data

I just want to let you all know that I am now using subversion with
pyblosxom to maintain entry meta data.  I hired the maintainer of the
subversion python bindings (C. Michael Pilato) to write a function that
returns the date that an entry was added to the repository.  For those
that have worked with the python/subversion bindings, you'll understand
why this was well worth the $75 it cost me.

The problem I ran into was this was pretty slow.  My main page took 4
seconds to render.  I solved this problem by using memcached to store
entry dates in a shared memory cache.  That did the trick, and performance
is about the same if not better than before.

I'm pretty happy with this architecture.  If anybody is interested in this
I will make my changes available.
