These are kind of tricky to respond to en toto; if any of these topics need
followup, can you maybe separate them out into individual emails?

Yes, there is. Further SVN features are great; further cleaning of the driver
model is even better. And support for other VC software is a long-term wish
list item.

It should always be called as defined, since other arguments are ignored
anyways. A better name for it would be fine, too.

I'll commit some fixes to Chora to use filenameToMIME(), but we need the
MIME_Magic code to be able to support extension-less entries. Any nice way of
doing that would be great.
