Not deliberately. :) Switched openSuSE releases (12.2 now).

It's been crunching on that for over 20 minutes now.
I suppose it will finish eventually. [finished while writing this]
Nonetheless, I do prefer to work with GIT over SVN, but that means
I would need to debug the issues from my first missive
on this topic. [now fixed, see below]

Still, dealing with anticipatable failures makes for good grist
for the GCC wiki. Error messages like, "remove the -q option"
are not helpful when you haven't used any -q option. And it
was similar to the message from "git svn":

I surely don't see any "-q" on line 2299. Perhaps I need a "korbb@" inserted
before the "gcc.gnu.org" in the command?
[a moment passes]
Yep. That's it. the "git svn init" command should be augmented with my
login id at gcc.gnu.org. Thank you!

So, "remove the -q option" really means, "provide your login id."
Not especially obvious. :(
Thank you!! - Bruce
