 * I’ve been using Subversion to manage and update my WordPress (2.6) installs for
   some time. Given the new self-updating features of WordPress 2.7, is there any
   advantage in continuing to use Subversion for this?
 * Thanks!

 * I’ve noticed that using WP’s self-updater disables my plug-ins, and therefore
   requires a little manual poking around after the update.
 * Using SVN therefore seems slightly easier and faster.
