Well, it's an extension of the venerable HTTP protocol so you get SSL 
encryption for free. 
There's a rather interessting extension to WebDAV called DeltaV that
deals with versioning. Sbversion, a promissing CVS substitution uses
DeltaV and Apache2 as the remote protocol. They use the neon DAV library
(www.webdav.org/neon) which is a pretty neat C-library that handles most
of the DAV/DeltaV proocol.

BTW: subversion has some (highly experimental) SWIG code for Python
bindings. This might be a good starting point for DeltaV tests with
Python.
