Thanks. I'm assuming you meant SVKROOT ;-)

Will there always be a file called "local" in the relevant location?
I've added this (pseudo-coded, obviously :) before trying to run svk:

	$root = $SVKROOT
	If $root = "" $root = $HOME/.svk
	$check = $root + "/local"
	if the file $checks exists then...

Cheers,
