Absolutely. You propose to migrate more than I had actually thought we
would; we can migrate just avalon-net if that's all that people want moved.

I believe that we can just leave it in place, and make it read-only.
A brief summary of the current state of affairs is as follows:
- There is no SSL. Passwords are sent over HTTP. Yes, we
know. Infrastructure is well aware, and working on it.
- Shell accounts are "meaningless" to Subversion. Each
Committer needs to be registered with Subversion. To
make this easy, we have created svnpasswd. Just run
it, and it enter a password.
- Access control is via /x1/svn/asf-authorization. We would
need to add the following:
avalon=<all committers> [in the groups area]
[/avalon]
@avalon = rw
"We", Berin, means you (although I can if you ask).
This configration does not provide fine-grained access control. I believe
that the philosophical approach is that if you a Committer, you get access.
This is one Project. If necessary, we can provide additional levels of
control, e.g., if we wanted to give someone karma for the site without the
code, or if we had some need for a PMC-only area. Details in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/mod_authz_svn/INSTALL.
Someone in svnadmin would need to run
svn mkdir http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/avalon
after which, anyone in the Avalon group can create the new sandbox:
svn mkdir http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/avalon/sandbox
There is a migration tool from CVS to Subversion, which can be used to
import a CVS module; see: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/book.html#svn-ap-b.
We might ask our Subversion admins to do that for us.
For those who just want to install and play, once you have used svnpasswd,
there is also http://svn.apache.org/repos/test, which is a general sandbox.
Do *not* expect anything there to be permanent.
