I was working on a slow but reliable alternate implementation for validation and regression testing. So far, it seems really hard to write anything reliable atop Subversion.

I know its bad form, but I've done what I promise is the last history manipulation on my public repository. Now that the code is at a point that is quite functional and ready to receive contributions, I've signed off on my own commits and reviewed the history. Its not yet '1.0' but hopefully Ram's eyeballing of the code will get us there.
