BTW, for those not listening into the infrastructure mailing list: There is a certain pressure building that PMCs start thinking about creating a plan (!) to migrate to Subversion. They want to eventually shut off CVS to get rid of the necessity for shell accounts for committers. This won't happen within the next 12 months, though, but we also need to start thinking about it.
Actually it is proposed to happen in < 11 months (Jan 1, 2006).
My biggest concern is the lack of an equivalent to cvswrappers. At least in Batik we have a large number of "binary" files - reference/asset images. It doesn't appear that in SVN you can have them automatically treated as binary you must manually update the SVN properties for each file.
This isn't a huge issue for the initial import but it means that whenever a new file is added the committer must remember to tag it as binary - which in my experience won't happen 75% of the time. :(
I'll also have to update our nightly source dist script to work with SVN.
