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
