Re: svn read of the binutils development repository?

It's not just disk space, it's also network bandwidth. The entire src tree is 
three times the size of just binutils (340Mb vs 113Mb).

Also if you have a fully populated src tree toplevel configure will try and 
build all of it. Getting all of gdb, newlib, cygwin and GOK what else when 
you just want binutils doesn't sound like a practical solution.
