So I thought I would follow http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/DownloadFromSvn instead of getting snapshots.
So I do $ svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/trunk spamassassin-trunk and end up many more megabytes of files than one gets with snapshots, and no, I'm not talking about .svn/* files. I'm talking about files that you packagers exclude from snapshots. So how can I download from SVN and get approximately the same number of files that are in code snapshots? Thanks.
