If you want an SVN tutorial, the SVN Book (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/) is 
actually _extremely_ well-written and provides very good examples for various 
SVN operations, and explains lots of scenarios that arise in version control.

As for Gentoo ebuilds, what I had done was configure my /etc/make.conf with a 
local overlay.  Then before committing changes to SVN I could be sure that 
the build worked and all the manifets/digests were correct and that things 
were basically working.  I'm guessing you've been doing something similar to 
this already though :)

I seem to recall seeing QA tools that were done by Gentoo developers for 
ebuilds, but I haven't used them.  I guess I woudln't be surprised if they 
found problems with our current set of ebuilds :)  If its possible to 
incorporate those QA tools, that would be pretty nice, but I don't seem to 
see that as a large priority since we don't have too many ebuilds (in 
comparison to the entire Portage tree).
