[Gobi] ann: new svnbrowser extension

[Robert Gaggl]

hi everybody,

i just wanted to announce that i have committed a new version of my 
svnbrowser extension for gobi. it's more or less a complete rewrite of 
the existing extension (i decided to quit developing the svnbrowser as 
both a standalone helma application and a gobi extension in favor of the 
extension).

the most notable change in the new extension is a different url schema, 
where the action immediately follows the svnbrowser's url (as it is done 
by trac [1] too, of which this extension generally has been heavily 
inspired by). this change was necessary to avoid any name conflicts 
between application actions and items in a repository. the new extension 
also has a different layout now, and a better display of inline diffs.

if you've been using the svnbrowser extension you need to edit the 
SvnBrowser page(s) and re-add the subversion repository url because the 
property name has changed. please note that due to restrictions of the 
underlying javasvn library [2] you can only use http and svn protocol 
for now (the upcoming version 1.1 will feature that).

please keep in mind that the former svnbrowser repository 
http://nomatic.org/svn/svnbrowser/ on my server is no longer up-to-date 
as the extension now resides in the same repository as gobi [3].

due to the rewrite i consider the state of this extension "experimental" 
(there are a lot of things that still need to be done), nevertheless it 
should work. if you discover a bug or if the extension doesn't behave as 
expected, or if you have any ideas for enhancements please let me know.
