checking out just 'phpdoc' will just get the english version of the
manual. checking out 'phpdoc-all' will get the english version and all
of the translations. the point of making english-only the 'default' is
that the number of people who actually work on more than one translation
is small (and the number of people who work on all of them even
smaller), and one of the goals is to decrease the load on the cvs
server.

there will be no downgrade, you'll be able to check out as many or as
few translations as you want to work with.
