I'm wary of this because it also tests our SVN package, and makes sure they work together. But I'm not completely opposed to it either. How much time does it save?

I wonder if is still relevant. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAls43TAACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPokCAf/dQwSwK6kKrDoCEXSMVW06GjkiRXYTgAZh39qqaI3tOdcaqecH1WiUpEI vQMEcPz5OoGqpD7UCoRDwHuLNNT4SDRij/5r36mksUs38onk1n5XTCLN4A8BfIzT E6A0g9hYRbpfNkx610zH5wYBT04t5tUhwlJnCCBCNXwkvKQvWNYFrqNo6M96av3Y ioayHkiCEnznm88bb00EobPrf8OltBO9q4k6hOCzCddbrpL6y+X7aGvAD/2Qg6Cj TotYWNq+Y4dPLCw/1Fsjl9fu3NNWSQ3/9YH/SNBVKmTL0zRqhMvWs2AxayE7bq4X 2Wel7mgb95E2oDk42xcD5/gP8d4K6Q== =myJP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
