I don't think a GUI frontend for SVN matters for us unless there's going to be 
an api provided for it that we can use in KDevelop. I'd like to see some
tighter integration with source control in KDevelop 4 compared to the
3.x series and I guess I need to organize my thoughts on that subject
and put them on the KDevelop wiki.
