[Bf-committers] Requesting an SVN server update

[Dalai Felinto]

I'm not going to be at the meeting today but it sounds as a topic that
could be settled there.
Mitchell will probably not be present either (the meeting is at 7am there).

So if anyone can bring the attention to this topic in the meeting it
would be nice.

Cheers
