You are not differentiating mono from MonoDevelop so I am not sure what 
you mean here.
There are now project files for building MonoDevelop in svn but they are 
not complete and may not be in sync at all times.  There are still some 
details to be worked out in this area.

Those checking out MonoDevelop from subversion should be able to do this:
 - autogen.sh
 - make
 - start monodevelop
 - open the MonoDevelop.mds solution located in the top directory
 - click run

Obviously the first two steps are only needed because of bugs elsewhere.
