... and this transition phase lasted already several years (Francesco introduced SVN to wxCode years ago). Now there are even developers favoring Git or Mercurial above SVN. > My only objection / concern is with history: components under CVS are > logically the older ones, and in some cases (like mine) were inherited > from other developers.

Neither have I, but there is a tool cvs2svn which is said to support migration including history. I'll have to dig through the documentation to find out which steps are required to move components separately from CVS to SVN without damaging the SVN repository. > Happy to let you & the rest of the wxCode community decide, this was > just some input. I think I can at least move all currently unmaintained components. But this has to wait until SourceForge's services are available again. I'll announce on this list when I prepare the migration.
