PuTTY is now using svn, and seems happy with it. My only real concern
is that branches are copies - and the viewcvs interface to this seems
less helpful than for CVS. However we don't tend to use branches in
Xapian, so it's not actually a concern.

We'd need to talk to Simon Tatham, because ideally we want to run
/one/ subversion on ixion; currently he's running his own server for
PuTTY (and his personal projects).
