Because thats the way i chose to do it.
Also, svn doesnt use rcs *,v files. It uses a berkeley (sp?) database,
and i havent tried recovering a BDb yet. The correct way to back it up
would be to shut svn down first, and then copy the files.

I dont know BDb that well ( at all ) so i steered clear of it affecting
a recovery.
