Only source files and some runtime files maintained directly by Bram. Updates send by other authors are rarely or never committed to CVS. SVN is synchronised only with CVS. Yes, it is a pity runtime files are not updated in CVS :( Theoretically I (and probably other people) could rsync directory according to your tip but it would wreak havoc in CVS structure... m.
