Correct. And I'd recommend svn rm .cvsignore after that, since we don't need those in the tree anymore. > It might be wise to look over the .cvsignore files and make sure > everything in there still makes sense.

I'd personally go for the latter, but I can't speak for the SA committers. I wonder how long it will take for a svnpatch utility to appear ;) Sander
