yes, it was badly specified with more enthusiasm than planning, and we've been 
quietly ignoring it for a while now. :/ I was planning to bring that up at the 
next meeting: either remove it from the wiki and say "use kdesvn-build", or 
get someone to just go and write a computer-readable list of repos and see if 
anyone starts using it. (I think the former makes the most sense at this point 
- who besides you and me actually wants that list? I'll probably just make my 
scripts use scripty's repo list anyways)

it's an accountability thing... although if we self-hosted it'd be another 
nonissue afaik.

probably not? I guess someone committing something with bad encoding or 
windows line endings isn't the end of the world. :)
