The WANdisconians do not, in fact, see the SmartSVN codebase. At least I
sure hope we don't have access to it; all sorts of problems could arise
if proprietary, closed-source stuff started showing up in the public
repo, even by accident.

That's unless WANdisco wants to open-source the whole thing. :) Which I
have no opinion of, nor insight into.
