[Xastir] SVN info (not needed or even useful yet for the Xastir project)

[Chip G.]

Thanks for the info. I notice there is a program/technology/script available for converting a repository from CVS to SVN. Is this something we should pursue ourselves or do we (or should we) wait for SourceForge to drive things? (Attempting to learn here, not be a pest, will shutup upon command.)

I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a future update with methods for upgrading/converting as necessary. I use my own script (which I've shared before) and will need it's own tweaking. I also use crontab to nightly check the repository for updates (using "cvs -n update"), so I'd like to learn about similar SVN functions (or GIT) when the time comes (if it comes).
