I'm not sure what you mean....

If you want to use PostgreSQL as a back-end for Subversion, I don't
think you can - SVN uses BerkelyDB, IIRC.

If you're talking about accessing the source code repository for PG, it
uses CVS, and the details are on the website. Of course, there's nothing
to stop you setting up your own private SVN repository for the PG code
if you *really* want to.... :-)

I'm assuming you're trying to say that you want to host the backend
storage for a svn repository in PostgreSQL.

If so ... why? What do you gain over the well-tested and stable storage
methods like fsfs ?

If that's not what you meant, then perhaps you should try to explain in
a little more detail.
