Research direction
Start by reading the VCS-capability shim introduced by tools/mercurial/ and the requested tools/subversion/ entry point, while checking the Mercurial bridge dependency. Verify the scope against the listed SVN operations and the dist.apache.org release-area reference; done means checkout, update, diff, status, history, commit, and release staging or promotion support are covered.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Add tools/subversion/ for Apache Subversion (SVN) support. This one is directly relevant to the ASF itself: svn.apache.org still hosts active source trees for a number of TLPs, and dist.apache.org (the release-distribution area every ASF release is staged and published through) is SVN, not Git. A framework that stewards ASF project workflows but can't touch SVN is blind to a core piece of ASF release infrastructure.
Capabilities to provide:
- Checkout / update /
svn diff/svn statusagainst a working copy - History read:
svn log,svn blame, file-at-revision - Commit with message (write-path gated on explicit user confirmation in the calling skill)
dist.apache.org-aware helpers: stage/promote release artefacts under the SVN release area (useful for a future release-management skill family)- Reuse the VCS-capability shim introduced by
tools/mercurial/
Why: Beyond ASF infra, SVN remains in heavy use across enterprise, legacy OSS, SourceForge-hosted SVN repos, and large monorepos that never migrated. For ASF adopters specifically, dist.apache.org support is not optional — it is how releases ship.
