RDP 8.0 is hooked up to SVN and ready to roll. This could make
writing a specialized SVN client redundant and unnecessary.

Well, IMO, that's just a kludge. You're taking a source control mechanism that's not designed to work with IBM i and finding a way to wedge it in.

I think you would be better off getting a host based SVN client working and simply adding some RSE user defined options rigged up to do your check in & check out functions. A subsequent implementation could contribute first class actions to the RSE popup menu to invoke the checkout & checkin.

You can easily push and pull IBM i source members for compiling at
will as well as objects that you want to version control in SVN.

True, but the development model isn't natural for IBM i.

PLUS you run the risk of two developers overwriting everyone each others modifications ... since the IBM i project mode doesn't lock the source member while it is being edited.

Probably not as cool as MKS and others, but this could work nicely
for those who don't have the cash to buy a full blown
source/application management suite.

While our current plug-in is pretty seamless ... our initial implementation used user defined options to invoke product commands.

If someone didn't want to install our plug-in, they could setup the original implementation and it would work quite adequately.
