correction: will break WHEN a new release candidate is out, I
can't confirm or deny 0.10.1 vs svn checkout compability issues,
but my personal experience with 0.10.1 vs svn is definitely that
the 0.10.1 had big networking issues for my setup, svn just
works.

In addition, the description really needs the update I send out
with the patch last weekend. It will soon match the description
on gnunet.org as I will update it there too in a way which is
similar to the one provided here.
