Has anyone attempted to use SQL Server Database as a Subversion file system back end? So that all Subversion Repositories would be stored in a SQL Database instead of a flat file system? Make for easier backups and reporting?

Subversion has two different repository formats. There's the default FSFS which uses a 'flat' file system. But you can also create repositories which use the berkeley db.
To create such a BDB repository, use the command
svnadmin create path/to/repository --fs-type BDB

This is not feasible. The entire core of subversion would need to be rewritten. Subversion does support a Berkeley db implementation, and with the proper tools, this db could be exported to mssql for reporting.

1Not the entire core, just the svn "filesystem" layer. – orip Dec 29 '08 at 22:24
