Not authoritative, but when I set this up for Tuscany the thought was:
* the one on the incubator site reflected incubation status and would  
stay with the incubator
* the one in svn reflected project status and would move with the  
project on graduation

During incubation there would be a lot of overlap, but there would  
also be other information for the respective audiences (for example,  
some projects include the one from svn in distros).
