Hi Peter,

In order for svn-export to work in incremental mode, you need to use
the --revision-file argument like so:

python3 svn-export-2013.1/svn-export -r rev.dat
http://svn.gna.org/svn/nasmail/trunk nasmail

Then at some point in the future, run the same command.  svn-export
will read rev.dat, compare the version in there with the current HEAD
revision.  If they are different, the script creates a diff and
applies it to the local directory.

Hope that helps,
Greg
