I appears that I've misinterpreted what the vault really is. You're
right, it's also a giant directory tree, the main difference seems to
be that it contains "packages" as opposed to raw files. Or am I off on
this too? :)

I still don't understand why it makes sense for the vault packages to
be in SVN, but the official Boost distribution has to be in
sourceforge.
