-==== Improve fetching from version control ==== #fetchtypes

-Make cvs/svn/git/hg/bzr fetch types checkout into the distfiles dir and then export into the work dir, to [[ticket:16373|avoid having to re-fetch]] after cleaning the work directory. 
-"`fetch.type svn`" is inefficient in that it checks out a new working copy every time, directly to the work area. That would be like a normal port downloading the distfile every time. Instead, we should check out a working copy to that port's distpath, and then in the extract phase we should `svn export` it to the work area. 
-
-Some checks will be needed in the fetch phase to ensure that an existing working copy:
-
-* has no modifications: check `svn status`. Ideally, we would try to clean up the working copy, for example by `svn revert`-ing modified or added or deleted files, and then in a second `svn status` run, delete any unversioned files. But it's already an improvement if we just discard the working copy if `svn status --ignore-externals` produces any output.
-* is from the right URL: check `svn info`: check if the "URL" is the one we want. If not, check that the "Repository Root" is a substring of the repository we want. If yes, try to `svn switch` to the URL and revision we want; if not, discard the working copy.
-
-* Difficulty: Easy
-* Languages: Tcl, C, bash
-* Contact: larryv
