I suppose you'd have to download the whole database for any access ...

AFAIK, subversion used to have a database back-end only, and this has
been a problem more than anything else. They now have a filesystem
back-end which I think is the recommanded one.

You should have a look at what they did and which problems they
encountered before going any further in this direction.
