[nycbug-talk] SVN question

[Bob Ippolito]

And if for whatever reason the ".svn" dirs get in the way, you could  
use svk to check out the repository instead.  I've played around with  
it a bit for mirroring svn repositories and for doing version  
controlled development with a repository that I couldn't commit to --  
worked out fine, no problems so far.
