of course it shouldn't, considering the state of the SCM art. but this
is SVN, so that is entirely expected.
Thanks for confirming, somewhat, that I'm not _totally_ insane. :D

perhaps you can prod upstream to migrate to something better.
I may broach the subject if I become a regular committer with them. I

infrastructure in place to centrally maintain a git repo that updates
every 15 minutes or so.
