It might be nice, if it were possible to make some kind of set of
wrappers.

something along the lines of

$ [makenewproj]
    (which pulls down a bunch of templates)

    (or contrariwise, [getmyproj], which pulls down the relevant
         stuff)
      

$ [savemystuffs]



Having to manually do a bunch of svn stuff, seems like kind of a hassle.
especialy with typing that longugly(tm) stuff to the svn repository. seems
like that should be made transparent somehow. it's extremely ugly, to my
eyes.
