I've not used SVN before this project, and haven't had good luck with it.
I just tried to pull a fresh copy of the polaris sources using
svn co svn://svn.genunix.org/polaris/trunk

it gets a bunch of the sources, but eventually quits:

A    trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib/OLD_LH.map
A    trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib/Makefile
A    trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib/Sl
subversion/libsvn_wc/log.c:337: (apr_err=155009)
svn: In directory 'trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib'
subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c:565: (apr_err=2)
svn: Can't copy 
'trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib/.svn/tmp/text-base/lh.svn-base'
 to 'trunk/usr/src/cmd/lp/filter/postscript/font/devpost/charlib/lh.tmp': No 
such file or director

Any ideas what the problem is?

Anyway, as for the other questions,
The polaris source structure is easy to understand, and very naturally fits in 
with the stock structure.
The difficulties I encountered are posted above.
SVN seems to be working for everyone(besides me), so I'm not about to complain. 
 I'll assume my problems are my fault.
If and when OpenSolaris "blesses" a specific SCM, I think we ought to use it, 
because this project is meant to be a port of OpenSolaris, not an offshoot, and 
we really ought to remain part of the family as much as possible.  I do wonder 
why the Sun guys didn't add network support to SCCS/TW and just release that as 
open source, too.  It's not like doing so would divulge any top secret trade 
secrets.

Thanks for any pointers anyone can give about my svn problem...
