FYI, Fitz did a conversion of apache-1.3, which is now located at

wow, that's a lot of data - 10 minutes later and I'm still downloading...
Wait! No! You don't want to check out http://svn.apache.org/repos/test/httpd/ ... you want to check out http://svn.apache.org/repos/test/httpd/trunk/
By checking out http://svn.apache.org/repos/test/httpd/, you're getting one copy of the httpd source tree for every branch and tag! That's a LOT of data!

This is going to be a recurring problem. Geoff did the intuitive thing, which turned out to be wrong. Not good.

Documentation issue... IMO, Sander should have added a note to his conversion notice about how to checkout the trunk of the repository.
