Maybe we just got out in time? :-)
I am really glad you confirm the 1347 Attic'd files in the final result.
Also, if your late February and most of March results are an indication of
some lingering CVS problem at SF, it appears I picked a good time to do the
conversion!
>From my CVS versus SVN consistency tests I am completely confident that we
have everything that could be reasonably extracted from the locked version
in our current SVN version. However, if there were something wrong with the
locked CVS version (such as missing Attic files), my tests would not have
seen it.
Therefore, Maurice, thanks for making this important cross-check, and I
encourage you to look further for other anomalies (if any) in the "locked"
CVS version that I have depended on for the conversion. Also, I encourage
all developers here to read the trunk, tags, and branches of our current SVN
to make sure it delivers what you think it should for the current HEAD and
the historical branches/tags that interest you. Better to find out now if
there are any lurking problems, rather than two months down the road.
