Some times ago, as I asked someone why styles were not updated more quicker,
I heard that svn from all clients to central svn would be a bottle neck...
I had the idea, that not every client should make svn for styles,
but the t at h-server should do it regulary (cron every 6 hours ... 2 days ...)
and if a diff from old to new says, that there are some changes, the
t at h-server may inform his clients, that there are new styles...
Downloading styles outside svn may be peanuts for t at h comparing to upload
of all the tiles?
