You'll have to ask that from the Subversion repository maintainer. My
guess (but it's only a guess) is that he keeps the Subversion repository
in sync with the CVS repository (maybe via cron-weekly or some such) and
that Bram only commits to CVS the files which are the object of an
official patch; other runtime updates he uploads (I think) only to where
ftp and rsync can get at them.
Best regards,
Tony.
