well, build\ does not change so often nor it does template\.

The $log keyword is not supported.  They had valid reasons for doing so, but in case anyone uses that keyword it might be worth noting.
yes, sure; but grepping in wxCode repository I did not find any 
occurrence of that keyword - it looks noone is using it ;)

I've always been curious as to why the first thing that the TortoiseSVN team did when using he TortoiseCVS code-base was to convert it away from wxWidgets.
To my eyes TortoiseSVN is as good as TortoiseCVS: easy to use and 
providing a GUI for all SVN operations.

I didn't know that they dropped wxWidgets for tortoiseSVN - this is bad 
news for us :(

I'd be curious to know why, too.
I gloogled a bit but I couldn't find anything about it...
