I committed using TortoiseSVN.  Would that auto-push?  I never imagined so.

Empty comments like "I don't think" don't help any of us.  We need to try and figure out 
whether it applies, and if not then how to make it apply.

Who are these people?

How is mucking with SVN a burden?  It takes only either a one-line command line invocation 
or a few mouse clicks to update or commit.  It seems to me that if people are maintaining 
their own forks then it's more likely to be because they want the additions they make all 
to themselves for their personal projects, rather than to contribute to the project.

How does using SVN lead to "fragmentation"?  I don't understand.
