BountySource.com have released the first version of their web-based SVN browser, written in Ruby on Rails, under the GNU GPL license. The project website is available at https://bssvnbrowser.bountysource.com.

The bsSvnBrowser relies heavily on AJAX to allow user-friendly browsing of Subversion archives "with all the trendiness of a Web 2.0 application." Subversion is an open source system for revision control, sometimes known as SVN from the name of its command line interface.

Features of bsSvnBrowser:
Current
• Revision Tree View
• Source View
• “Blame”
• Revision History
• File Diff

Planned
• Code highlighting
• Directory Diff
• Detect MIME Types
