 They do indeed - you should have received one commit message by now
 (me testing whether committing works, on PEP 347).

Could the subject lines of those messages please be changed to something
more informative? Having which files were changed in the subject seems
better than having only the new rev and the folders the files are in.

I'm neither sure whether that should be done, or whether it could be
done.

What do others think? I personally found those long subject lines
listing all the changed files very ugly and unreadable.

The other question (whether it could be done) is probably answered
as yes, but I have to research what magic precisely is necessary.

Me too.  At work our subject lines contain something like:

Subject: [SVN][reponame] checkin of r12345 - dir/containing/changes

Note that we send a different commit message for every directory the
change happens in, even though it's all one revision.  We like it that
way because some people don't care about certain directories and can
filter based on that.

Inside the body of the email you'll see something like:

Author: person
Date: when
New Revision: r12345

Log:
Log message comes next.  Definitely best to show up before the diff.

diff comes next...

FWIW, this format has worked well for us.

I also have vc-svn.el installed (I think it's from the subversion

Yep, that's the one I use, albeit a few revs back from what's up there
now.  It's had some performance problems in the past, but is generally
pretty good these days.  I've had issues with it bogging down XEmacs
/after/ running stat on a very large tree.  It seems (seemed?) as though
it was still hogging cpu even after the actual back-end svn command was
finished.

My only other nit is that I wish I could svn stat a few directories at a
time.  Say I know that only directory A and B are out of date.  At the
command line I can say svn stat A B or svn commit A B.  Can't really
do that in psvn.el, but I can understand why that's problematic.

I also would love it to be hooked into vc-mode too, for modeline updates
and commits of single files.  I can understand why those things aren't
there yet though.  All in all psvn.el works very well, although it's not
(for me) a complete replacement for the command line.

One think that should be carried over from svn.ht is how to setup
Putty on Windows. The issue is that subversion will look for a ssh
binary in its path, and if there is none, it fails. Saying

[tunnels]
ssh=c:/program files/putty/plink.exe -T

in subversion's config file does the trick (see svn.html).

If you use a different SSH client, you need to adjust the configuration
accordingly. FYI, -T specifies to not allocate a terminal.

plink has the nice feature of giving GUI feedback if there is no
terminal for interactive feedback (such as whether the remote key
is trusted). This makes it useful for TortoiseSVN.

 You would usually only check out the trunk (unless you want to work
 on a branch, of course).

Actually, you would probably check out a sandbox subdirectory, such
as

http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/decimal/

(say).

We don't have a policy for making tags or branches for single
directories only; I would suggest that either
tags/decimal-1.0 or tags/decimal/1.0 would be acceptable
(depending on how frequently anticipate to make takes, perhaps).

It's actually not: you missed the pythondev@ part. To access the

I have now added your key something.comcast.net to the file;
I did not add [EMAIL PROTECTED], as SSH1 is not supported. Please try
again.

That's the one Debian provides. We don't build our own, but use

 We're starting to look at how much information we can push over to the Wiki.
 Any pages where multiple people might contribute, especially if they are not

For things that describe policy, I don't think that's so great.  For policy 
(how to use SVN for Python development, because we have certain rules), I 
think we want to maintain strict editorial control.
