Excellent.

I read through the section on vendor drops, and it looks relatively
straightforward. I'll pull a copy of svn_load_dirs.pl and read through
it to make sure everything makes sense. From the overview, it looked
like it might handle adding/removing files automagically, as necessary.
I may be wrong, but I'll find out when I look at the code.

And I'm assuming that if, in the course of importing things, I find I
accidentally skipped a snapshot I want preserved, I'll want to check-out
the snapshot prior to the one I want to import before overwriting with,
and importing the skipped one.
