Be sure to use svn externals for your plugins.. Navigate to plugins directory type "svn pe svn:externals ." e.g. akismet http://svn.wp-plugins.org/akismet/trunk/ audit-trail http://svn.wp-plugins.org/audit-trail/trunk/ etc. I need to write a post to help people take an existing WordPress install and migrate it over to SVN, I think that takes just as much time as an actual upgrade.
