Afaik, there's no way to natively audit an svn tree either.
Only the hash based systems (ala: git-fsck, etc) can offer the
needed degree of assurance. Otherwise you're left comparing
copies which is a futile waste of time with all but the ancient
plaintext systems. Or choosing copies to promote, which
has its problems too.

[good that cvs is leaving base so all the systems will be
solely in ports, finally]
