What problem am I experiencing?  The problem that exists right now is due
to user error.  Bk is not broken.

/wplug/announcements/stuff.php
Everything in there is a symlink to the actuall files, which are in a
private repos not available to anonymous users.

Alrighty.. bk actually doesn't break that often.. actually... bk never
breaks.  We just don't understand it.  We are just beating our way through.
 The problem I have right now is that I don't know how to do something, and
I'm emailing bk as we speak to ask.  I've put a lot of effort into learning
BK.  BK basically means to us learning.  CVS would require learning, but
less so.  It's a question of balancing effort we put into learning, and
what it gives us back.

Again bk always works I think, but we don't know how to work it.. it's the
usuall situation with computers in general.
