Looks like you read up to page 3.  Page 4 says that it doesn't really 
work:

You would have to maintain two copies of the database, meaning you would 
only really use SVN by backing up your database, starting SVN, looking 
at it, then stopping SVN, and restoring the backup of the database.  So, 
if you did anything in the SVN copy (like changing configuration or 
deleting a recording or whatever), your "stable" database copy would be 
out of date and you can't "downgrade" the SVN databse to stable, so...

On the bright side, I (not a developer) think I might see 0.19 out there 
on the horizon...
