An initial scan of the material I had at hand before I hit the update button showed CVS mentioned, but I see from the "Allura" documentation that they only have SVN, Git, and Mercurial.  This means our CVS repositories will be migrated to one of those.  I haven't been asked which to migrate to and haven't found what the default is going to be.  More when I hear back from them.

Grrrr.

I read the same newsletter you did.  Nothing I saw there implied that they 
would break our CVS repository, but that was the one thing I was concerned
about.  If they do break it by moving it to SVN I'm cool, but I'll be miffed 
if they move it to Git unbidden.
