Bug#509311: subversion support

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

uscan is getting bloated.  So we need to be careful for adding special
case handling which will be rotten soon with changing external software
interfaces.

In the upcoming multitar branch, I have implimented pagemangle rule
which can do any string substitution of web page. See discussion 
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538717
This may be good enough.

Also more and more code uses git.  So I wonder value of adding
subversion support with lots of complication.

Please let us know if we should keep this vague wishlist bug or not.

(If there is a patch, that's different story.)

Osamu
