It looks like it might also solve the problem you (Hans) were mentioning earlier of wanting to have a local version of the repository on your laptop that you could periodically merge with the main repository. There's a webpage on it here: http://svk.elixus.org/ Personally, I haven't used it yet, but I got the link from a friend of mine who is a very competent sysadmin, and he seemed happy with it. - Brooks
