The link you provided is a wonderful example of one of the biggest
problems in Open Source. It leads to a set of code files, but contains
no information at all on why I might want to download them. The README
file seemed promising, but contains nothing but release data. Sigh...

The general problem of turning a tree into a database structure is non-
trivial (at least if you want a useful result [1]). OTOH, I understand
that it's possible to dump and reload a database, using XML as the
transfer format. Is there a standardized way to express how this should
be done?
