Freebsd-update can manage the src tree.  I'm not entirely clear on what =
use-case we are addressing here.  Is it:

- FreeBSD developers, who are probably okay with installing a port, but =
would prefer a version that didn't depend on kitchen/sink?

- Users, who wish to be able to update the source tree and then either =
build world, or build some optional parts that are not part of the =
default install?

- Some other category of svn consumer?

I think having a definitive statement as to the intention of svnlite =
would help frame the discussion in a more productive format.
