The Subversive Developers list almost certainly isn't the appropriate place to direct such questions.

BTW, definitely think of whether the current directory layout of your repository is ok (or if the actual current repository root should be moved into a sub directory of the new one, e.g. think of the usual svn trunk/branches/tags stdlayout requirement/setup), and check whether there's a suitable way to do such a directory hierarchy change right *during* the migration step (i.e., without complicating your history due to subsequent complicated directory moving actions). Don't ask me why I'm mentioning this here... BTW, congrats for tackling the switch to a more suitable/widely usable/modern SCM! Andreas Mohr
