I was not intending that the two get tangled. Either do the move before or after. Just that when "legal delays" were mentioned, i thought that there would be plenty of time. Afterwards is fine by me. I was responding to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] request to consider moving soon. > I'd also be curious to know what proportion of Apache projects have > migrated to SVN so far?

Apache Forrest was one of the early ones to move. The transition was a breeze and we love it now. We are mainly using the trunk, with small experimental branches which we merge early.
