Comment(by haiqu):

 Interesting comments from both Rene and Urias there.

 The glories of developing from within Linux have already been espoused
 elsewhere. However, one then lacks a reference platform for compatibility
 testing, which is present when developing from BeOS. I also have no
 intention of ever using Linux or BSD again for a working environment, so
 installing it wasn't ever an option.

 The compatibility issues between versions of Subversion are precisely the
 reason we need a working (minimum) svn-1.4.6-beos build. Currently the
 BeOS version used is svn-1.1.3 which is a dinosaur. Keeping a single copy
 of the repository sources on an external drive - in my case, a USB memory
 stick - and accessing it from both systems ensures that I don't get
 glitches caused from building an incomplete source tree, and also saves
 having to `svn up` from two different operating systems.

 So, that's my reasoning anyhow.
