I would say have a finaly commit that replaces amsn with a script that pops up 
a box saying: "Go here to learn how to switch to SVN." and then after a month 
or so remove the repository completly. No need to keep it around as garbage 
on sf.net's site.

Why not just use "devel" instead of svn or cvs? This would get rid of any such 
problems in the future and makes more sence.

SVN does file versioning by repisitory, not file. So when you commit a change, 
it increments the "revision number" of the whole thing. I suppose we could 
use this. I'm not sure how to get this easly through command line though, 
without using the svn command. Maybe someone more familiar with this could 
comment?

I'll be happy to help, but I have AP exams comming up in a month, so I will be 
studying for those. If after May 10th something still needs to be done, I'll 
lend my hand.
