[kepler-dev] SVNKit

[David Welker]

Hi Jing,

The build system already issues all sorts of commands to SVN without  
using a library such as SVNKit. I have purposely avoided using that  
library precisely because of licensing restrictions. However, I have  
found that I am able to do all the svn commands I want, including SVN  
checkouts, without it. Why not look at existing code (i.e. in  
Get.java) as an example.
