"You can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."

FTP is just a horrible and massively outdated protocol which we really shouldn't be advocating for the modern internet[1]. Particularly when everything you've suggested can be much more cleanly done using existing tools on Linux / UNIX / OS X: scp, rsync, git, sshfs (some of which are often pre-installed on the *nix image)
It's a really geeky approach. The 949 problem concerns a lot of persons who does not even know what a server is.
Note that all these require transferring the file to the server first, before a link can be shared with anyone, and especially cleaning up later. With my tool, the link is instantly available, and as soon as I stop the program, nothing is left anywhere, especially not on the server.
