ACK. Would it be possible that I start with the conversion on Saturday evening already? First I'm not sure how much time I'll have on Sunday, second it gives us some time buffer if something goes wrong or if I need some further clarifications during the conversion. From your side it would just mean to stop comitting to SVN Saturday evening (let's say 6 P.M. CET which is GMT+2 during summer - recalculate it to your time zone). In any case, I'll send an announcement that I started with the conversion.
