Does anyone know if there are already plans to make svn part
of the base system and integrate it with make, so that one
can use "make update" (in /usr/src and/or /usr/ports) with
control files or options (e. g. in /etc/make.conf) to have
influence on the updating behaviour (if to track RELEASE,
RELEASE-p<level>, STABLE or HEAD / CURRENT)? In the past,
the additional package cvsup-without-gui had to be installed
(like Subversion today) before csup was created and incorporated
to the OS...

I'm currently using csup with this approach and would be
interested if Subversion can provide the same easy interface
to that kind of functionality.
