That may be shortened to:

http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/trunk/gt/modules/unsupported/community-schemas/ds/src/test/resources/test-data

without losing much of the meaning, no?
Anyways, I fully agree, fragile it is.

Not sure how would you implement this. As a server side check? (I've
been hearing of commit hooks that can be activated

Hum, that would be something to be run from the root of the checkout,
and spanning down to whatever is under it. Not sure the maven vision
of the file system is good enough, but we can try.

Well, we can try to first ask, and then move if nothing happens
for a few hours. I would like to keep things cooled down,
thought we need  a procedure to cope with people committing and then 
going away for holidays :)
