Exactly, I use a pip requirements file, and if its an app that I'm working on, it gets installed from svn. Eg: -e svn+https://svn.nubtek.com/libraries/python/rc/trunk#egg=rc this gets installed to venv_dir/src/rc, which is then a full svn checkout, which I can manually switch branches, merge/test etc. When I want to make it permanent, I can simply update my requirements.pip, blow away my venv dir and reinstall (or remember the full invocation for pip install --upgrade -e etc).
