I did a sloppy copy from one directory to another (cp -r instead of svn cp)
and that made svn think that the directory was from the original.
Irritating, but not a huge deal.

Yeah, it does. The problem is obviously a lot more labor at this stage, but
the benefit is that we can do quicker builds, tests, and deployments. We
can also let our users only install their required drivers if they wish.
It's a pain, but with proper scripting it shouldn't be a huge deal.
Daniel's already written a script to update each package's source and we
can adapt it for our tree if need be.
