Max,
If you guys think that files the user should at some time have to modify
should be in ~/.*package name* instead of some subfolder somewhere, thats
perfectly fine. I wasn't aware that .subversion had user editable files.
I still think that tucking them in a subfolder instead of ~/ would look
cleaner, but its not every day that a user will see them.
Have a good day!
