Hi<br>
<br>
I am currently thinking about introducing a new VersionableV3
interface to access large sets of revisions<br>
(e.g. 50K) and make it scale better. Also it would be nice to search
revisions for particular tags.<br>
Hence I was looking at the search API of lucene, because it has
similar scalability issues:<br>

I am currently playing with the various APIs, but any suggestions
are very welcome.<br>
