naming: svn instead of subversion
a lot of things are named "svn" with subversion, but there is a few exceptions. i would consider
it good style if we just could stick to one naming: "svn".
examples:
~/.subversion
/etc/subversion
program files/subversion
this of course should only apply to file/folder names.

When you're dealing with an installation, or code is handling the directory
name, then we want it spelled out for clarity. For the user, we abbreviate
with "svn".
The '.svn' subdirectory doesn't obey the above rule for legacy reasons. We
started off with 'SVN' to be very similar to CVS's 'CVS' subdir. Eventually,
we changed it, but we kept the shorter name.
In retrospect, that was actually pretty fortunate because of the '~/.svn' vs
'~/.subversion' that people have pointed out.
Cheers,
