So I experimented a little. A cleaned CVS checkout of the kdewebdev is=20
5.5MB. The tarball of the kdewebdev .svn directories is about the same=20
size (10KB less). This will be important later.=20
I did the following:
=2D cleaned up the tarball you sent to me to have only the .svn=20
directories [strip_svn.sh]
=2D cleaned up a checkout of kdewebdev from CVS and copied the .svn=20
directories there
=2D run "svn revert -R ."
=2D I removed the CVS directories [cleancvs]
=2D I ended up with the same files (compared by content) as the one you=20
sent me in the tarball.

This means that it's enough to package the .svn directories and offer=20
for download, and one could use his own CVS checkout and convert it to=20
svn. Even better, as I see you don't even need to have a CVS checkout,=20
it's enough if you have the .svn directories, and the "svn revert" will=20
restore your files.=20
 This saves several MB for downloading (almost 4MB in kdewebdev case,=20
even more in some other cases), and wouldn't be much different from=20
downloading the released tarballs.
 Now as I was informed, during the checkout you would actually not=20
download the .svn directories, but this doesn't change the fact that=20
it's more convenient for some to get everything in a package.
 I cannot test the commit from KDevelop (where I already see some=20
problem), because I don't remember my CVS password. Can I get back=20
somehow? ;-)
