Hi Andreas,

because it either requires that I keep a local copy of the source code 
for Jugene on my computer which I keep in sync besides the repository or 
I can't have an local changes on the Jugene (which sometimes makes 
sense). An svn update keeps all local changes intact, an rsync does not.

Regards,
Olaf

In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly
universally the case in human affairs.  Hence, what is not surrounded
by uncertainty cannot be the truth. (Richard Feynman)
