Ah, I see the confusion; I've been talking about port net/svnup, not the 
difference between full svn and svnlite, where I expect you are correct.

net/svnup is described as "A lightweight, dependency-free program to 
pull source using the svn protocol."  It does not use svn's directory 
structure (eg the /usr/src/.svn/ tree) and is not useful for developers 
wanting to push code back to the repository, among other svn features; 
it's purely for updating local sources (or ports, though I use portsnap)

Hmm, its website <http://jcm.dsl.visi.com/freebsd/svnup/> is down just
lately; cc'ing the author/maintainer.

cheers, Ian
