For one thing I never understood why they don't just offer anonymous svn access to the repos WPILib on FirstForge. In addition to seeming a little against the ethos of FIRST, is the repo metadata *that* dangerous? Seriously?
It seems like WPILib development should be a little more open to the community... I understand if they want to keep a few files secret (e.g. kinect last year), but I see *no* reason that the incremental changes that they published this year needed to be secret until kickoff. If there had been something really new, then they could just develop that separately and have a script commit it at kickoff. This might be better suited to a DVCS like git where you could have a local branch so you don't loose commit history, but I digress.
