CVS/ and .svn are quite different.

SVN stored a lot of stuff in .svn (including a copy of every file which
has been checked out).  This will mean that we are shipping 100M+
releases, just so people can patch easily.

I think if people are hacking on phpgw - for the project or privately,
they should be able to use svn.

For an end user with shared hosting downloading a nightly build tarball
and ftp'ing to their hosting is easier than trying to explain svn to
them.

The discussion in the context of cvs and svn are very different.

Cheers

Dave
