Well, there is the cvs2svn script in subversion-tools for migrating repositories, and there used to be svn-buildpackage and svn-inject scripts, but those were removed a couple months ago because they were out-of-date. I use subversion for some things, but I haven't moved my Debian package repositories over yet because I've just had too many problems with subversion. It's just not stable enough yet, IMO. -- Poems... always a sign of pretentious inner turmoil.
