I just finished migrating our (small, miniscule compared to FBSD's CVS) repository from cvs to svn and it went without a hitch. *MUCH* simpler and faster than vss to svn. (vss->svn: managed to import the history though with some issues with new lines (win32 to win32 conversion, so no idea what was the problem).). Maybe because cvs2svn is in Python and vss2svn is a Perl beast? Anyway, is anyone interested in porting (or having it ported) the cvs repository to svn? maybe running both in paralell (cvs rw, svn ro, i figure). what amount of traffic would be expected for this kind of svn server? best, B
