Nice work Wichert.
I notice that the .tar.gz package is rather large and has a lot of
documentation and test work in it. Would it be better to remove this as it
greatly increases the size of the source download.
I will try and raise some more awareness of this now.
Next thing is, integrating this into an office suite. I've already tried some
experiments with hooking OOoSVN onto this as a test but it's not going to be
release worthy.
