If I keep my sources in svn, should I give a URL to the toplevel of the repository (which is what one passes to "git svn clone -s" and allows access to all branches) or one particular branch? If a branch, which branch, and should its content at the tip represent the last uploaded version or is it allowed to be ahead of, behind, or even unrelated to that? Should the content at the tip match the uploaded package, or is allowed to contain more, less, or some unrelated collection of files? If I keep my sources using CVS, what is the format of the URL? The "cvs" package is an example. What happens when the repository is moved or there is an outage? Does this represent a bug in the package like an email outage preventing contact to the maintainer would?
