I have revised the 'Upgrading to SVN' and the 'Installing Mythtv SVN on
Fedora Core' wiki pages to clarify what is being done and why the two
pages seem to disagree.
The 'Upgrading' page requires an un-install first, as it then installs
SVN in /usr.
The 'Fedora' page now notes that you can have both installed, and the
SVN install will go into /usr/local ...as it should...
