Yup - mis-type on my part.

Yup, I've used those before with pre-made repositories and I've updated my

Yes, it did very much.  I'm now the sole Subversion knowledgeable person in
our group (or at least the only one willing to admit it), so these tasks are
now mine. :-)  I really like it since Subversion stays simple and true to

Thankfully the Perl and Linux mailing lists are full of diverse talents!
