+1, +1

Whenever we're looking for place in a VCS for binaries that would be
potentially updated, let's note:
1. Better not ship optional content in the repository because it will
land in tarballs too (default templates are fine though).
2. Using SVN over git is a good choice for binaries because with git
we have to fetch all the versions of given binary and with SVN we do
not. This is why SVN is used for KDE oxygen project and calligratests.

And it's good to expect that documents/templates can be big - nothing
should stop us from having quality (higher DPI) content there.
