This is only for some projects who cannot or will not give svn write
access to their primary svn tree and don't have a secondary repository
like for instance GRASS does.

Most OSGeo projects have a limited commiters group who have write access
to the primary source code. Some of these projects don't have and don't
really need a repository for addons, usually because they don't have a
lot of contributed code. GRASS is one exception, in that it has a lot of
contributed code, and it is quite easy to get SVN write access to the
addons repository, which in turn works to stimulate people to share
their custom modules. :)

I hope it is more clear now. You use whatever repository your mentor
tells you to use. He knows if he can give you write access to the
project main repository or a secondary (which can be the soon to be
creates svn repository).
