I think the argument was that we have no easy way to detect when
files should be removed from the repository. Maybe Branden will
tell us in Oslo how to do this (he will talk about managing
debian packages by subversion) :-)
Anyway, space it is not really a limitation for now. The ocaml
source tree is big, OK, but how many ocaml releases are there
per year?

The top entry in the changelog gives the name of the orig.tar.gz.
Remember that in svn version numbers apply to the complete repository,
not to single files as in cvs.
I find the opkg-buildpackage script that I posted some days earlier
to this list useful.
