Indeed, I forgot that. Thanks for the remainder. Would be worth a note on 
http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric4-download.html, too.

If I try to ask Eric Idle for his agreement to allow us to use a picture 
from him as a new eric mascot, would you accept a change? Attached one as 
example.

May be, that behavior deserves a (deprecation) mark, and the pysvn selection 
should be disabled, if not available (probably already in place, but I seem 
to remind, that it's not.

Okay, good to know. I switched now (- that I found the switch -), and 
certainly, some thinks behave much better (eg. tagging). 

Thanks & kind regards,
