make "-a" default option for GetComponents
We seem to regularly receive support requests from users where GetComponents fails because they forgot to add the "-a" option. Since GetComponents is supposed to make checking out Cactus easier for novice users, I suggest changing its default options to reflect what is most likely required in this case. Having already the download of Cactus fail would turn me away from using it.
For the developer that actually require write access, we should all be computer and version-control savy enough to either change the checkout afterwards or modify the thorn list. Its just a 'svn switch --relocate', '$EDITOR .git/config' and '$EDITOR repos/carpet_hg/.hg/hgrc' after all.
So in summary I would like to suggest changing the default to "-a" possibly at the same time we change the defaults to --no-shallow

I attach a patch for this. I cannot apply it myself right now. I will have to ask Eric for write permission to GetComponents.
I also (incorrectly) attahced a patch for
#942and will mention it there as well. -
