Seriously? May I ask why you even use a computer?
And why do you trust your firewall without any doubts? Your own firewall
could phone home and send your whole harddrive without you even knowing
it - because by your definition every program is evil unless proven
otherwise - and an evil firewall surely won't block itself from doing that.

And may I say: if you think TSVN is that evil, you can deinstall it any
time you like and use another Subversion client.
