Actually, I *had* a patch that got the source from svn, tarred it
and checksummed it, with little modification to the do-fetch target
and abusing FETCH_* variables.
The unsolvable problem I ran in to, is that svn doesn't adjust
timestamps for directories on export, so the checksum for the tar
was always different. Hacking svn export was outside my timeframe
and hacking tar to grow an option that sets all created dirs to
a fixed time stamp, seemed too hackish, so I let it go.
