Ah, now that you have lured me out of my cave, I guess I have no excuse 
left :-)


A test run inside a chroot'ed COW (copy-on-write) Debian Sid environment 
with only core development tools installed + git-core and python2.5, 
"sugar-jhbuild update" failes with the following message:

*** Checking out matchbox-window-manager *** [20/45]
*** Error during phase force_checkout of matchbox-window-manager: svn not found *** [20/45]


I suspect there is no point testing in Squeeze or Lenny, as I imagine it 
would fail at same point (and would in *any* environment, even on 
Fedora).


Kind regards,
