The fact that Subversion supports DAV is a red herring, since the
original question was about disconnected use. When you reconnect, it
is to a remote wiki. The question then is: what version management
system should the wiki support for users who want disconnected use?

You can't use Subversion directly unless you teach the Wiki server to
talk to Subversion to get the files. The fact that it runs DAV only
means that it could use DAV to talk to Subversion, not that it would
help the user any. Since bOP exports all files for a forum via DAV,
the Wiki is nothing special. You can use local Subversion or CVS on
top of the Wiki, just as long as everybody in the forum agrees what is
the right thing to use. You would still need to teach the Wiki to do
a checkout on the server. Ideally, this wouldn't involve a remote
call, since you'd have to do this for every read. With CVS (and I
assume local Subversion), you could just check the CVS file to see if
it was modified.
