It was mentioned upthread that Josh has seen repeated problems with his
conversions. I too would like to see some details about that. One
thing that I personally would find to be a showstopper for any proposed
switch is if it fails to maintain our change histories; in particular,
if it's not still possible to pull an exact copy of any given prior
release, it'll be no sale. I gather from this thread that svn has by
far the closest storage model to cvs of any of the available
alternatives ... so if svn has conversion problems, what's it gonna
be like with another one?
