Re: SVN Test Repo updated

Bottom-line: it's very easy to shoot oneself in the foot while writing
wrapper scripts. The default interface will give you local time listing,
anything you generate from that will have localtime listing, so any
`nice' meta-generated information can have issues.
Bad decision, IMO. And something to REALLY watch out for when/if GCC
switches to subversion.
