Hi Tim,

You should start your project with zopeproject --no-buildout, then
commit all the files to the svn. This prevents the buildout-generated files from 
being included in the svn. Then your users just have to svn co the project and 
launch the buildout to generate the remaining files. The developpers don't even 
need to know that you used zopeproject, this is just a buildout at the end.
