Wait, you have registered in the forums, and got SVN commit access? I
very much doubt this. I think it was rather a coincidence that someone
approved your request at about the same time. I've never heard of an
CVS/SVN repo that allows commit access after a simple registration. Btw,
whom have you asked for approval?
