That is a good question.

It seems that the affected files are
 forrestbot/core/getsrc.xml
 forrestbot/core/deploy.xml
which use "svncheckout" and "svncommit".

It is interesting to note that we already use
Ant to call the "svn" executable do to the 'svn add'
and 'svn status' operations.

I am in favour of dropping dependencies where possible.
