Hm.. that's a tough call.  Ideally, if you're removing it from the DB
on gerolde, it should be removed from svn too - svn's repos/* folders
should match *exactly* what's in the repo - any automation should take
that into account, IMO.

Also, thanks a TON for the work that went into this Aaron (and anyone
who helped Aaron) - I think this is a huge step for us, and getting it
done so quickly and so well is awesome.  Again, thanks a million.
