Yes, i like that. So if i think there is a new config file that

overwrite the old README). I think that addresses the concerns
about not being able to install new files.

Sorry, forgot how specific everything this list had to be.

+1 on having some way to tell subversion to recreate the .subversion
directory/files. Default to leaving it alone if its already there.

better. Of course, we now have to have the option letters are a
precious commodity argument but there you go.

Mix.
