Less Subversion woes

O.K. after HOURS of waiting for things to (not) happen, I have some new Subversion rules:

1. To do a bulk add, don't import. Instead, copy over the new directory into the working version, then do a recursive add, then do a commit. Much much faster than an import.
   
2. Wait. Subversion terminates, it just takes it sweet time.
   
3. Always START with an update and END with a commit.
