The LaySVN project on alioth was approved, and the LaySVN subversion repository is created and populated.

The rewrite came along nicely the last hour, the “status” command is now working on a repository-wide level again. The expected speed gains worked out just fine: on my real-world test repository (3.6 MB of data in it, this is /etc of a server I run) it now takes just below 1.5 seconds as opposed to 21.5 seconds before. I didn’t run a profiler yet, obviously.
