This may not be a quantified solution, but adds a theoretical benefit for when there actually is a .svn directory. Now, personally, I think it's an OK-addition, along with .git and others, i.e "purge_vcsdirs()". And of course, since makepkg.conf (and PURGE_TARGETS) is user-editable, there's no need to make it a default since we haven't even an actual case to show. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
