Have a look at the EU::MM manpage, it's tirival as nothing. EU::MM per
default offers a 'ci' target which does a checkin. Unfortunately does it
default to rcs so when I accidently typed 'make ci' instead of 'svn ci'
some weird stuff happened. So I added those two lines to make 'make ci'
call 'svn ci'. Not very useful but doesn't hurt either *shrugs*

The file can be updated either manually or automatically via 'make
manifest'. The latter is much easier, as long as you have a good
MANIFEST.SKIP file (I updated ours accordingly). So in 90% of all cases
when you added, moved, or removed a file you now just type 'make manifest'
instead of keeping that stupid file up-to-date manually. It's even nice
enough to tell you 'Added file foo', 'Removed file bar', and so on, so you
can check if everything's correct. Try it, it's really nice.
If we don't use that automatism, we should remove the file MANIFEST.SKIP
completely as keeping two of them up-to-date is completely useless.
