	ye-gods!  SVN? is that like CVS?  I do know "RCS" well enough
	to track _my own_ revisions. CVS?  just Barely.  it's the CVS 
	kin utilities where I *really* go off the rails. :-)   I got 
	in trouble at work trying to keep my perl OS tests in sync.
	iv'e been graced with enough patience that I can wait several
	billionths/sec to get the latest deltas [&c], thank you.

	could this have anything to do with my having quit my 
	subscriptions to the -questions list??  when my systems admin  
	flew up last year he moved my registrar from GKG.net to a
	registrar I had never heard of.  godaddy.[com|net].  godaddy
	ignored all my DNS and BIND files and used they own automated
	scripts.  usually mail works; sometimes it takes around 25-30
	seconds to go out.  The rest of the time--very rarely--the
	godaddy mail handling hangs.

	has anybody else on this list seen this kind of behavior with
	godaddy?  I'll ask my sysadmin.  send him the pertinent parts
	of this mail.
