Hi, I ran through the source forge documentation about the cvs to svn conversions and I tested practically all steps. I made a copy of the whole repository, converted it, and uploaded it to my server, but stopped the import since it just took too long (it finished 256 revisions of 7586) - you can see this historic plplot revision here: http://svn.miscdebris.net/plplot/trunk/plplot/ .
Anyway, below you'll find the cookbock for this process. Rather straight forward. We also need to agree, when to do it and how. My proposal would be to do it after the next release. Nobody should commit than something for some days, until it is imported into the sf-svn repository and tested/compared. If the conversion was done satisfactorily we should than use svn exclusively. What do you think about that?
