source code integration - mantis 1.2.0 and later

[info4km]

I saw a posting at http://git.mantisforge.org/w/source-integration.git that mentions that beginning with 1.3.0 only the Source Integration plug-in will work. It looks like for this plug-in you need the SourceForge version of subversion or a WebSVN instance. I have neither. I have SVN straight out of the box. I just want the checkin.php to continue to work -

Am i correct in assuming that my installation/instance of SVN will not work with the plugin?

Also, although it says 1.3.0 and later, checkin.php is not in the 1.2.0 distrubution that I downloaded.

I am interested in knowing first of all if I am correct that the plug-in won't work for me, and also other folks opinions of this. I think it's fine to add all this fancy functionality with the plugin, but why remove the old simple checkin.php - just leave it there.

any thoughts?
