ok, then the Attic files can be removed, I guess. Take a look e.g. at http://josef.fsv.cvut.cz/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass6/display/d.erase/Attic/?root=grass exactly this case. > > 2. creation grass7 repo. > > > > the suggestion in the wiki page is to run cvs2svn for grass6 twice. > > why not copy it after? svn must have a way to clone a new repo from an > > old one. (but whatever is easier & cleaner) First the grass6 svn is created (trunk, selected branches and tags) based on grass6 cvs, then grass7 svn based on grass6 HEAD (*only trunk*, no branches, tags).
