I went ahead and did a full svnsync just in case, so I should have your updates. It's not that we need to do the changes through nut.box, but that changing the repository directly can introduce discrepancies that are hard to track down if we don't know about them. (Theoretically, two people converting the NUT repository with reposurgeon should get exactly the same Git commit IDs - assuming that the starting SVN repository is identical.)

Whether you want to change it on the SVN side, or the reposurgeon side, just let me know so I know to look out for that change.

Thanks,
