I would really like to take the opportunity of moving to svn to add in
the old revision history, as I did for gcc. In this case I mean the
revision history from within Cygnus before the sourceware.org
repositories were created in 1998/1999. Unfortunately, Red Hat has been
reluctant to release it.
One issue with converting is that ideally every project in /cvs/src
would agree to move.
