The nightly-smoke build target uses svn. There is a related smoketest script that uses provided URL parameters (or svn if it's a checkout from svn and the parameters are not supplied) to obtain artifacts for testing. This may not be the only build target that uses facilities not available from git, but it's the only one that I know about for sure. Ordinary people should be able to use repositories cloned from the git.apache.org or github mirrors with no problem if they are not using exotic build targets or build scripts. When I tried 'ant precommit' it worked, but it did say at least once in what scrolled by that this was not an SVN checkout, so the '-check-svn-working-copy' build target (which is part of precommit) didn't work. Thanks, Shawn
