Description
Cargo has support for (e.g.) Pijul and Fossil, and (although I do use Fossil as my main VCS), as those are not really widely used, I wonder if it makes sense to have Subversion support as well.
Given your consent, I'd try to implement that myself, as a warm-up for more meaningful contributions, if I'll find the time soon.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Cargo's existing VCS handling for Pijul and Fossil, focusing on the cargo new entry point. Determine how Subversion support should match those existing options, and consider the work complete when cargo new accepts --svn with the expected Subversion behavior.
