I have also been puzzled at times with svn as to what had actually happened. It does however seem like when you read the manual, you do find the answer.
A nice feature of svn is that it can serve over http(s), so we could in principle decide later to host the svn repository at CWI without having to go through the CWI cvs support (which is somewhat complicated with many unknown users).
