Hmmm, thanks for pointing this out.
Your suggestion seems reasonable to me. It's pretty likely that
anything starting with "SVN" is SVN-related, and wants to be treated as
an SVN client. But I'm not well-versed in the relevant standards here;
does anyone know more? (Let's give it a day or two, since the change is
trivial and easy to backport to the 1.5.x line before rc1 comes out.)
