Hello, This sounds good to me, and as long as there's some sort of a consensus that we're not breaking the principle of least surprise, I'm all for it.  The one default that may be unexpected is the defaulting to the stable branch -- people who track the security branches will be left out.  So maybe something like: svnup --ports svnup --stable svnup --security (or --release) Thoughts?
