I think the problem with SVN people committing is if they are going to
be committing, presumably they made some change to the Keynote
presentation.  When they saved that change from within Keynote,
Keynote will have deleted all of the .svn directories that are
scattered around their presentation so the SVN commit is going to fail
because the project doesn't look like it is even in SVN.

Am I missing something?
