On second thought, it's not really needed. The original rationale was that it would be good to remove them as they can get accidently installed when building from an svn snapshot, but proper packaging pretty much precludes them being installed anyway. Additionally, there's no packages in the repos right now which have .svn dirs in them, so it's clearly not an actual problem.
This may not be a quantified solution, but adds a theoretical benefit for when there actually is a .svn directory. Now, personally, I think it's an OK-addition, along with .git and others, i.e "purge_vcsdirs()". And of course, since makepkg.conf (and PURGE_TARGETS) is user-editable, there's no need to make it a default since we haven't even an actual case to show. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
