The idea is that what goes to the store, goes through svn. So it gets
an entry in trunk/ and a revision is made in revisions/.

Yes, so when you're tweaking the recipe for Foo 1.0 locally, you will put it in
/Files/Compile/LocalRecipes/Foo/1.0/ -- stuff from the store will be
stored like this:
/Files/Compile/Recipes/Foo/1.0-r1/ -- so un-revisioned versions take
precedence. You can specify a revision in the Compile command line
("Compile foo 1.0-r1").

Notice also that the structure of trunk/ mirrors that of LocalRecipes/
and revisions/ mirrors that of Recipes/.
