Koen,
The idea would that for projects with a lot of svn churn, but
not much file creation or movement that would require constant
info file adjustments, a svn specific package would be available.
No one would be forcing forcing folks to install or upgrade those
packages but they would be a convenience for tracking close to
the svn while using fink packaging.

ps Sort of like the MacPorts gcc45 (or now gcc46) packages that
built from svn snapshots (but would automatic the process of
updating the package by using the current svn).
