But, I had to download a Subversion plug-in to get Hudson to do the build as
a 1.3 build. Or at least compatible with Subversion 1.3. Otherwise, the
build process didn't work. I'm not 100% sure what that Hudson plugin did,
but without it, Hudson couldn't build with Subversion on our build machine.
I'll create another repository, make it a duplicate of our current dev
repository, and try that on Hudson. I am pretty sure everything should be
fine, but I just need to make absolutely certain.
