Subject: Any interest in a Ruby source code repository module modeled after DBI?

I posted this in the Perl c.l.p.misc and c.l.p.modules newsgroups, and 
while it's a long shot I would be able to port this to Ruby if there 
were any interest, I could certainly be tempted to do so since I have 
more than a passing fancy for Ruby (just little time and opporunity to 
use it).

But if no one in the Perl world wants this and the Ruby world is 
receptive to it, maybe I would port this to Ruby.

It's a source code repository module modeled after Perl's DBI (from 
which Ruby's DBI is modeled it seems).  It allows one to access source 
code repositories (VSS, CVS, Subversion, PVCS, MKS, etc.) through a 
consistent interface (think about it, databases add, modify, update and 
delete records -- hence DBI; why not checkin, checkout, label, add, etc. 
files in an underlying SCR in the same way?) and even allows one to 
extend the behavior of any or all underlying SCRs in a consistent manner.

Let me know if there is any interest in the Ruby world for this.
