SVN trunk should be stable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. on ubuntu 9.04, git clone linus' kernel 2.6, checkout linux 2.6.30-rc2,
configure, build, install headers, boot with, etc.
2. checkout http://compcache.googlecode.com/svn/trunk, Revision: 372
3. run make


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get:
wolf@wolf-desktop:~/compcache$ make

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I repeat, this is upstream linux kernel, not ubuntu's soures. It runs fine
on this machine.

Please provide any additional information below.

Please do not expect SVN to ever compile cleanly. I'm not such a disciplined
programmer :)

Now using 0.5.3 downloaded in tarball on 2.6.30-rc3.

Please consider using a stable svn branch and tagging release revisions in svn 
so it
would be possible to use svn instead of tarballs.

Yes, this will be nice and repository cleanup was pending too.

Now trunk reflects "stable" branch. Also, tagged compcache-0.5.3 release for 
starting
with tagged releases.

Thanks,
