+Checkout/export policy
+----------------------
+
+DO NOT EVER CHECK OUT OR EXPORT THE FOLLOWING PATHS WITHOUT PRIOR
+PERMISSION FROM BRANDEN ROBINSON:
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86/branches
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86/tags
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86/vendor
+
+Once the XFree86 upstream code is imported, the *huge* number of tags and
+branches in it will 1) consume massive amounts of bandwidth from this
+server, and 2) consume massive amounts of disk space in your export or
+checkout directory. Recall that in Subversion, unlike CVS, branches and
+tags aren't "special" -- they are simply copies of a particular revision of
+the repository. This is handled in a highly space-efficient manner in the
+Subversion repository, but will cause complete copies to be sent to
+checkouts and exports. Let's say that one copy of XFree86 source tree is
+about 350 MB, which is approximately correct. At the time XFree86 4.3.0
+was released, there were *FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN* branches and tags.
+This means that checking out the root of the repository will cause *ONE
+HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE GIGABYTES* of data to be transferred off of my server
+and onto your hard disk, if you even have that much space. Checking out
+the branches, tags, or vendor directories will be almost as bad.
+
+So, please, DO NOT DO THAT.
+
+Checking out one of the following:
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86/people
+ svn+ssh://necrotic.deadbeast.net/var/lib/svn/xfree86/trunk
+
+or any subdirectory thereof is freely permitted until further notice,
+however.
+
+Branden strongly encourage users of the repository to read the Subversion book:

The "trunk" is destined to be the next Debian unstable release. It's where the
cutting-edge but non-disruptive work takes place.
