We need to move the CVS out of Jakarta and into Portals. This leads me again to the question I've asked before. Is this a good time to migrate (both J1 and J2) to Subversion?
From what I hear, Apache will be migrating all repositories to Subversion within the next year, regardless.
Im wondering if the time is right now.
As you are probably aware, Scott is working on a major refactoring, moving many package subtrees out of the portal subproject and into their respective components/ subprojects.
The big problem I see with this, and it has nothing to do with Scott's refactoring, which I fully support, is that we will lose version history on all moved files!
With Subversion, this will not happen. Subversion works very well with keeping history when files are moved during refactoring.
The one issue that has been raised often is that Eclipse does not integrate with Subversion.
We need to find that one out for ourselves.
Download Subclipse

and try it. I plan to next week.
Look forward to your comments
