Thank you!!!!  I hate the '@' thing as well, I figured it was just due 
to someone not wanting 'grep -r' to work. :)

Just to check, after your changes... will you still be able to do 
something like:

cd $HOME
svn co https://.../base/head/sys/modules/foo_module
cd foo_module
make depend all install
