how to implement version-control client say svn as java web-service?

how can I implement SVN/CVS/Mercurial/Git/TFS client as java web-service? any pointers? basically I am developing a CMS in which i want to support version controlling. But instead of new VC system, i want to support SVC/GIT/Mercurial/CVS/TFS so that it can be used with the existing plug-ins.

EDIT: to make it more clear, I am developing an online VCS-client as a part of CMS. Which should support uploading from popular VCS like SVN/GIT/TFS/CVS. I guess, I need to implement different handlers for different VCS-client. but the same data should be accessible from supported clients (SVN/GIT...)

OK, so I misunderstood your question. To achieve this you have to use one library for each VCS you want to support. For SVN this will be SVNKit, for Git JGit or gitblit (I don't know those two, they are just an example). You have to learn each API to get the data from every VCS.

In your Java application (website) the UI should provide a browser like component to select a file in the repository. Dependent of the VCS the user choose the appropriate library will be used to interact with the repository.
