Is the .svn subfolder that tortoise-svn for example (on windows) creates a
standard one? (that is other SVN clients will use that folder and understand
the settings files in it?)
If so, then the snapshot can contain such a folder (that is be checked out
itself from the SVN)

That way, one would get the snapshot, then just tell SVN to update the
Lazarus source folder and rebuild to get the new compiled version (although
it would be also nice to be able to do SVN update at the compiled folder
too). Similarly the FPC folder could contain .svn or .cvs (if freepascal
uses such) subfolder to be able to sync that too. Could have some readme.txt
with a link to a Lazarus webpage that has links to popular SVN clients for
the various platforms supported by Laz and some info on how to do the update
(with tortoise-svn is as easy as right clicking the folder you want and
doing "SVN checkout..." (won't need to set the SVN URL the first time since
the .svn folder from the snapshot will contain it). That is assuming as I
say before the .svn subfolder is something standard for storing client-side
info by SVN clients
