I strongly doubt that this would be useful. (You would need to ensure that the result of your "cvs2svn" run is the same as that which was used for the SVN repo, I believe.) > I'm looking to avoid downloading what I believe will be large seed files. IIRC, the (compressed) seed files are relatively small -- especially the ports seed. > I guess you'd need to convert src, ports, docs, www as different SVN repos? There is no "www" repo. src, doc, & ports; each is a separate repo, yes. From <http://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer>: "In svn+ssh://svn.freebsd.org/base, base refers to the source tree. Similarly, ports refers to the ports tree, and so on. These are separate repositories with their own change number sequences, access controls and commit mail." > ... Peace, david -- David H.
