Thanks, I will look at both the import tool of Polarion and cvs2svn (they are both capable of creating a subversion-dumpfile for loading). > The cvs2svn creates a dump file that could be imported into svn (at > least it was the way it works back then) via SourceForge shell service. > Just make shure the import ADDs, not REPLACE the old repository :) It's > also good to take full svn backup (not chekout) before merge. I already found out that an svnadmin load --parent-dir <name-of-folder> should do the trick of loading/merging into an existing repository, now I just need to find out if I actually have shell access on Source Forge ;). I will investigate further this weekend.
