No offense taken, it's always good to look at existing work that may be
related.

As much as both arch and Subversion describe themselves as revision
control systems, they're really quite different. Yes, Subversion has a
server. But as for "a lot of the necessary functionality" - it doesn't
seem to me that trying to reuse a lot of their code would actually save
that much time.
I mean, Subversion's all about their transactional filesystem, and
that's just not how arch thinks at all. You couldn't just commit arch
changesets on top of Subversion's fs - to pick one random issue, it
doesn't support symlinks (which I think is pretty ironic for something
that claims to be a filesystem).
