I hadn't thought about it, but it is a good idea.

A good start would be for you to tell me some basic commands by which I 
can fetch the whole subversion tree, and how I can regularly update it. 
  I know almost nothing about svn.  (Also on cvs I have access to 
cvsup-master.freebsd.org, and it would be nice to have the equivalent 
for svn.)

Setting it up so that CTM creates regular updates of the svn repository 
will then be very straightforward for me, as the infrastructure is 
essentially all there.

Also, if the svn repository is big (as big as the cvs repository), I 
probably need to warn the mirrors of the big files that will arrive.

One other thing - the computer that generates the CTM deltas is now 
behind the University of Missouri firewall.  If I were to be run down by 
a car tomorrow, I don't know who would be in place to take it over.  It 
probably couldn't be run from the University of Missouri.  I hope I have 
many more years of life in front of me, but I thought I should warn 
people of the possibility.
