The comma removed by the patch below implies that users working from a Subversion checkout should not use EasyInstall to periodically fetch the latest version. That's not what you intended to say, I assume?

You should also inform your users of the need to run this command, if they -are working from a Subversion checkout, rather than using EasyInstall to +are working from a Subversion checkout rather than using EasyInstall to periodically fetch the latest version.
Hmm, probably much better than the patch above:
-You should also inform your users of the need to run this command, if they -are working from a Subversion checkout, rather than using EasyInstall to -periodically fetch the latest version. +If your users are working from a Subversion checkout rather than using +EasyInstall, you should also inform them of the need to run this command +to periodically fetch the latest version.
Actually, what I meant to say was, if your users aren't using EasyInstall to fetch the latest version, but instead are working directly from a subversion checkout, they need to run "setup.py develop" after updates in order to update their egg-info, dependencies, etc. So, I'm changing this sentence to: "Be sure to also remind any of your users who check out your project from Subversion that they need to run ``setup.py develop`` after every update in order to keep their checkout completely in sync." Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity!
